Want to use your iPhone as a universal remote control?

Yes it’s true. Now it is possible to turn your iPhone into a Remote Control. This technique is invented by a small company named “PEEL” that can turn your iPhone into a universal remote control just like Logitech Harmony but at a fraction of price.

This technique uses a Pear sized wireless IR blaster instead of a IR dongle which is needed to be attached to your iPhone thus giving much less hassle. This pear sized blaster can be easily placed on your central table etc.

Working is actually based on the fact that this blaster connects over zigbee to a tiny network adapter which in turn is connected to an open Ethernet port on your Wi-Fi router. This setup reduces the power consumption by many folds and enables blaster to run for a period of 9 months on a single battery

  • Will include a rear touchpad.
  • A larger display
  • Games will playable without UMD as in PSP GO

Please end this Facebook hype

Some of the contributors to the internet includes Google,Yahoo and Microsoft. They had contributed a lot to the development of Internet. Recently i had read that Goldman is going to invest in facebook and valuate it at 50 billion$. Truly speaking what facebook offers is already present in the internet world before the invent of facebook also.They just combined it into one site and created all that hype.I will agree with this fact that twitter really introduced something new but facebook nothing.Please don’t get offended as this is only my opinion.
