Satechi device turns iOS gadgets into universal remotes


Satechi has released its Universal Remote dongle and RemoteBean app for iOS devices. The compact dongle and app transform any iOS device into a universal remote.  

The device can be used to control a variety of infrared electronics including TVs, DVD players, DVRs and more, eliminating clutter and the need for multiple remote controls. The plug and play Universal Remote dongle connects to the iOS device’s 3.5mm jack.  

Once plugged in, users download the free RemoteBean app, enter the activation code and program all multimedia electronics in the room on the iPhone or iPad.  The app guides users through each room in the house to customize virtually any device that comes with a remote control. 

The app contains a database of all major manufacturers and thousands of products.  However, if a device isn't in the database already, users can teach the app to control such devices via the learning function making the Universal Remote dongle and app future proof.

The Satechi Universal Remote dongle is available for an introductory price of US$24.99 at Satechi.net and Amazon.com.  The RemoteBean app is available for free at the Apple App Store.

Part of the series 148Apps Goes Deep on XCOM: Enemy Unknown I’m still haunted by visions of a parallel world (classified as Xbox 360) as it wasn’t long ago that I was in charge of the XCOM project and led a squadron of soldiers against an alien army. Soldiers I grew attached too, including the first Colonel who helped lead us to many victories. | Read more »

Favorite Four: Soccer Games
As a soccer fan, I’m getting twitchy. The Confederations Cup might be helping a little, but I miss the English Premier League week in, week out. This is where I sink time into FIFA 13 on my console in order to counteract the problem. What about while on the move, though? Here’s a look at my favorite 4 soccer games, each offering a slightly... | Read more »

XCOM: Enemy Unknown while first released for XBox 360 and PS/3 in 2012, this turn-based strategy game has transitioned to touch controls better than any others... | Read more »

XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Cheats, Tips, and...
The X-Com series, particularly the earlier games, are notoriously unforgiving. Although while XCOM: Enemy Unknown has been modernized, and is therefore more player friendly, it’s no slouch either. In fact, even on the Normal difficulty there’s a good chance you’re going to get creamed if you try to breeze through it. But all is not lost. If you... | Read more »
