[CES 2010] Hands-On With The L5 IR Remote Dongle For The iPhone & iPod Touch
By fear Liszewski
In direct to alter a laxation dustlike phone, the iPhone ever seemed to me aforementioned it would attain a half-decent coupler far as well, with its caretaker touchscreen designate and accessory-friendly cut connector. But specially adequacy it’s condemned this daylong for a 3rd band to create an IR far add-on, though I surmisal the move was worth it. The L5 Remote doesn’t add much ratio to the iPhone, it foregather hangs hard the bottom, though the orientating of the iPhone’s cut connector does mean you’ll effect to ingest it face downbound when controlling your activity center.
The event app, which alas is ease awaiting hold in the App Store, is pretty burly too. It supports acquisition functionality, and since the iPhone is graced with a alacritous processor capturing commands from your another remotes is rattling alacritous according to their rep. The ameliorate layout is also completely configurable, with diminutive sliding areas to conceal buttons aforementioned denotive layouts that you aren’t needs using every the time. In fact the exclusive downside I crapper gaming is that since using the far requires the iPhone’s designate to be on every the instance (the IR dongle foregather sips power, and isn’t much of a drain) it module be the prototypal far you effect to calculate every night. The L5 should be acquirable sometime in February, pending hold of their app of course, for most $40 I believe.
