After months of private beta testing, ThinkFlood's RedEye goes on sale today. You control the dock using an iPhone app via Wi-Fi, and it sends out infrared signals to control your AV gear. At $188, it's not crazy expensive, either.

I mean, the Logitech Harmony 900 costs $400, and even the Harmony 700 is $150.

that doesn't seem all that bad, but you'd better get one of these, these, or these

Damn fine idea. I've always wondered why phones with infared cameras don't have the ability to control televisions.

This is +1 reason to get an iPhone.

Well, theoretically any Wifi device could do this if the Infra-Red dock could be controlled from any wifi device

Whats bizzare is, just last night I was thinking that they should put infrared on iPod/Phones so you could do this lol

I sometimes like watching the show where they show how foods/candies are made at the factories.

Alton Brown is win. Also, I want this, but it's too expensive for me. I already have a Logitech blahblah that controls everything and it cost me 39.99 on sale. It eats through batteries like crazy, though.

Man vs. Food. Alton Brown.

Bizarre Foods is a cool show too.
the dinner impossible show is also pretty good.

The only time I actually have the time and want to watch the FN is during the summer when nothing else is on. Other days - my DVR just records over, and over, and over all the shows XD

Palm's were doing it since late 90's and had native IR right in the unit, I used to have a Sony Clie back in like 2000-2001 I had universal remote software on, it was cool for the novelty but the range sucked.

Man. This right after I sell my iPhone. Just my luck. Well I guess it's a good thing to use. It just further strengthens that the iPhone can be your solution to a lot of things.
