I got control – iPhone remote

I got control

‘I got control’ is a new, clever iPhone device that can turn your phone (or iPod touch / iPad) into a IR remote. The attachement measures 50mm (L) x 29.6mm (W) x 10.4mm (H) and it weighs 14 grams (half an ounce). The device has a price tag of $69.95, so it’s a bit pricey but it can be useful if you want to use your phone to take full control of your media equipment. You need to get the application from the App store as well. I guess you can have quite some fun with it too, just take it to your local sports bar and start switching the channels…

Apple vs Microsoft design philosophy

Apple vs Microsoft

This side-by-side comparison by a remote from Apple and a remote from Microsoft, supposed to do basically the same things made me smile. You can probably do some things much faster by using the Microsoft remote, but I really like Apple’s design philosophy…
