So John, what do you think this will do to battery life?

I didn't say it was practical. I just said it was very cool. If its bluetooth, it'll destroy the battery. If its just data, it might not be so bad. You're there....go check it out and tell us! :razz: |
Wow....just what we need, another 'remote' in the house.
Although.....I could use this to mess with my kid after he gets home from school, and I'm still at work ;-) |
I don't get it. Saw their booth. Still don't get it.

NJ, this was a really awesome device. They are shooting to make your BlackBerry, which you have with you at all times (I do, atleast), into a one-stop-shop for controlling your appliances, whether it be your TV, your stereo, or your lighting (one day). I think it's one of the best innovations for BlackBerry extensibility to date. It has a really good interface and costs a very small $100 (for hardware)...

How does the BB talk to their hub? Bluetooth? Data over Internet?
How does the hub talk to your devices? Their website suggests that this gizmo would be a candidate to replace my Harmony remote in my home theater. If so, does that mean their hub has to be placed somewhere where it is visible to all the infrared pickups in my entertainment center? That doesn't sound very practical. |
It operates over bluetooth. The setup I saw had the hub in a cabinet. It's very, VERY small, though. But nevertheless, since it's bluetooth, it doesn't need line of sight like infrared. And yes, this could very well replace the Harmony remote (with a better screen and interface to boot).
