Here is another universal remote accessory for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, the UnityRemote from Gear4. The UnityRemote allows users to control their multimedia devices, from TVs to Hi-Fis, Blu-Ray players to digital TV boxes, anything that has an infrared receiver, using their iDevices.
UnityRemote works with two parts – an app, which is downloaded for free from the Apple App Store, and a small device that can be placed anywhere in the room. The UnityRemote device receives a Bluetooth signal from the Apple device, and then sends an infrared command in 360 degrees via five infrared transmitters to the device to be controlled.
Gear4 UnityRemote works with iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4; iPod touch 2G, 3G and iPad. It is priced at $99.
