…and it was in my pocket. RedEye for iPhone is a new product that combines a free iPhone app with a Physical IR transmitter that allows you to control just about anything that came with a remote. The app connects from your iPod Touch or iPhone to the RedEye IR transmitter via Wifi and immediately sends commands to your equipment, including TVs, DVRs, stereo systems, etc… It appears to be quite nice to use, and the potential for this product is huge.

I’ve been mulling over universal remotes for a long time now, and have never found one that really excited me. Until now. The economy of using a touch screen device that you already own to replace cluttered remote controls is stunning. Check out some of the videos:
