In the ongoing quest for a truly universal remote, German company VooMote has presented an impressive contender. The VooMote ONE is a snap-in case that turns an iPhone or iPod Touch into a universal remote to control any consumer electronic device with IR functionality.
The slick little handset comes preloaded with codes for hundreds of thousands of devices, including home appliances and non-media products. After initial set-up, it can be waved in the general direction of a device in order to pull up a custom remote screen.
The VooMote ONE will be for sale in Europe at the end of February, and coming to US retailers later this year. An Android version is in development.
