NewKinetix Introduces Plug-in Universal Remote Control Accessory for IR Control of AV Devices using the iPhone and iPod touch

NewKinetix announced its Universal Remote Control add-on for your iPhone or iPod touch, which can be used with a supporting Rē Universal Remote iPhone application to control all the supported devices from your iPhone alone.

As a plug-in accessory, the Rē Universal Remote requires no cables, batteries, charging, or network connections to provide complete control of your TV, stereo, DVD player, or most any remote controlled device. The Rē accessory includes an extensive database of IR codes that will control most popular AV entertainment devices.
Not only will it eliminate remote control clutter by consolidating all of your remotes into a single unit at your fingertips, but the smart design and functionality of the application software is intended to offer extensive personalization capabilities including:

* Create remotes automatically for each device to be controlled
* Customize Activity Remotes to control entertainment activities like “Watch TV” or “Watch Movie”
* Edit button images and button layout on the touch screen
* Add buttons and learn IR codes to enhance device remotes
* Setup and playback of button sequences to provide automated device control
* Create “Favorites” lists that span multiple sources, so quick access can be personalized for TV channels, CD tracks, movie scenes etc.

The Rē is planned for initial availability in North America.
