Redeye mini puts ThinkFlood's IR transmitter in a smaller, cheaper package

looks cool, but I'd be afraid of bumping the gizmo and damaging the headphone jack

OS 3.2????
how in the world does it require something thats not even out yet ?!

lol major typo there!

@ matthew - will this have learn capability too? i've been waiting for the L5 to come out for just this reason, as i cannot find the actual ir codes for my nec projector, and can hold the nec's remote up to the L5 dongle and have it learn, as well as create a customized remote gui for my projector. will the mini have these same abilities?

thanks

Will buy on day one.

Traditional IR remotes need traditional buttons, so you know where they are without looking at the remote every time you want to switch channels. I think that this is a bad idea not because of the additional hardware attached to the phone, but because touchscreens are not meant to be a replacement for IR remotes.

Touchscreen interfaces only work as remotes when you completely change the interface, for example by using gestures, etc.

Actually, I prefer the original version over this, because I think the concept is more elegant. The IR transmitter is inside a dock that sits in front of your AV equipment and your iPod talks to it via Wifi. This way, the iPod doesn't need eyesight with the IR devices and it should even work across rooms. And obviously, you don't need to attach anything to your iPod. The only disadvantage I see in that is the higher price.
