UiRemote: The iPhone Universal Remote with Infrared!

http://uiremote.wordpress.com

A group of students at the University of Toronto have completed something that could potentially replace all the remotes you have scattered around the house. Its called the UiRemote (Universal Infrared Remote), for iPhone only at the moment.

With the help of this small accessory, you will be able to use your iPhone to control your TV, DVD, Cable box, Digital Photo Frames, AC, Fans, & Backyard evil robots, where ever you go. Not only does it send out the remote control signals, you can easily teach it to learn any button on any standard Remote, or even a sequence of button clicks as a macro. All without any additional equipment.

The wicked thing is that they use the earphone jack, seems there are a lot of functionalities you can use it with.

I assume this also works with the iTouch 2G, since it supports mic.

Hello! We heard rumors that iPod Touch 2G supports Mic from headphone jack. We are going to find one to test and post results soon. Thanks for the support!
