@iTzKiNG1 The sony tablet has a built-in IR remote transmitter- so it is like a Logitech Harmony Remote- you tell it what TV/Receiver you have and it gives you controls.

Another option for the iPad is the Griffin Beacon or the Logitech Harmony Link (about $70 to $100/ea) that will take a Bluetooth command from iOS and relay out an IR signal.

@Broo02 wow thanks for the info

[iPodTouch5311]

is there a way to put this app on the Samsung galaxy tab 7 plus

[Broo02]

@iPodTouch5311 Galaxy Tab doesn't have an IR transmitter; you would need a device like the Griffin Beacon or Harmony Link.

Will this connect to my bell satellite controls or simply the actual TV's controls?

A good start but macro functionality is needed before this becomes useful.

it could get even better if it was then voice active, you spoke volume up, and the tablet would do it

@hockeygod33 You know what bro , I talked to my engineer as an UI visual design , he said this function is so stupid that no one would ever do that at home , what can I say I'm just an UI designer.

[supersamonhalo]

@supersamonhalo although voice control function needs a large data base and time to work it out , but I still think it's a cool idea.

Already Pre-Ordered. Great day for Sony fanboys! Interesting how the video has an apple esque sound to it.

This feature is a key differentiator, much value added. Would you please provide a link to developer resources? I am interested in publishing a remote control app simple enough for seniors and usable by the visually impaired.
