In Pictures: A tribute to the TV remote control - Past, present, and future
A look at the history of remote controls, some of the coolest remotes out now, and what's ahead for changing the channels on your TV.
ThinkFlood RedEye
The $199 RedEye, released in 2009, combines an iOS/Android app and hardware to turn just about any smartphone into a touchscreen remote. Using the free app and Wi-Fi, the smartphone connects to the RedEye dock, which acts as a small Linux server. The dock converts the phone's commands into TV/receiver/set-top box-friendly IR. Conveniently, every family member may connect and use their own smartphone--but if they all do it at the same time, someone's going to lose.
