The Voomote One Turns Your iPhone into a Universal Remote
Michael Hines — July 26, 2011 — Tech
iPhone owners, the time has come for you to throw away all of your remote controls and pick up a Voomote One. The Voomote One is a new gadget that turns your iPhone into a universal remote.
The Voomote One works with a corresponding Voomote app to turn your iPhone into the lord of all of your electronics. The Voomote One lets you create custom button layouts, making it easy to switch back and forth between changing the station on your stereo and the volume on your TV. The remote can also remember macros, a neat trick, especially if you are trying to impress people by activating every electronic device in your house at the same time via your iPhone (you know you want to). The Voomote One app is free, but the actual iPhone attachment sells for a cool $99.
