Pippin, Chris, Having read your comments, I can see this is rather more involved than I had appreciated. I looked at Airremote and Iredtouch and they are both pretty much what I was after - iPod multiple remotes - but both involve buying relatively expensive hardware that sits on the network and drives the IR leds to control the AV equipment. I already have that functionality in the squeeze products and they are already sitting next to the devices I wish to control. So I had hoped that it would be a 'relatively' simple task to use the squeeze IRBlaster capability under the control of iPeng to drive the AV equipment. Pippin, if you have a couple of minutes to have a look at the websites for the two products mentioned, they do a good job of describing the functionality I am looking for.
This does raise an interesting question for Logitech and other box manufacturers who make their money by giving software away and charging for the box. While some may disagree, the Squeeze Controller and Logitech Harmony handheld remotes are not is the same league as the iPod touch, either in form factor or usability. Harmony in the UK is twice the price of an iPod touch, and is not without its issues. Whether Apple realised it at the time or not, they have produced a multi purpose handheld controller that happens also to be an iPod. This could be a game changer for Logitech and similar. -- Andy8421 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andy8421's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
