The iPhone 3G and accessories: some speculation

Does a new iPhone mean all your current iPhone accessories are obsolete? Unlikely. Here's a first look at what we think will work, and not work, with Apple's latest phone.

Apple May Offer Remote Control App For iPhone, iPod (TechWeb)

Review: Remote for iPhone and iPod touch

If you've been frustrated by Apple TV’s painfully-slow menu navigation, Apple’s new Remote program for the iPhone and iPod touch may be the answer.

AirRemote turns the iPhone, iPod Touch into remote controls

Section: iPhone + Communications, iPhone Accessories, iPhone, iPhone SDK & AppsUsing a mobile phone as a remote control is nothing new. Most of the advanced Nokia handsets have supported this feature for a while now. But then, it was limited to controlling mostly just TV sets. Surprisingly, we have not just a mobile phone, but a very popular portable media player which can actually do just that. Yes, I’m talking of the iPhone and the iPod Touch with the application known as the AirRemote. But wait, before you can use your iPhone or iPod as a remote control, you’ll need a piece of hardware called the Global Cache GC-100 Network Adapter, which will cost you $150. This is in addition to the price of the AirRemote, which will be a good $100 when it comes out in the Apple store. If you don’t mind spending $250 just to turn your iPhone or iPod Touch into a univesal remote control, these devices will let you control some home automation systems such as AMX and Creston, which can be used to hook up your lighting, security, audio/video systems and thermostats. Do I need to say that those home automation system would definitely cost a lot too? Of course, the AirRemote application would appeal to those iPhone or iPod users who are already using said automation systems in their homes. But, for us mid-income earning techie individuals, I guess an ordinary universal remote control will have to be enough for our needs.
