Beacon from Griffin Turns Your Android Phone into a Universal Remote: "For $69.99 the Beacon is a small device you place near your home theater setup. It has a built-in IR blaster and does just about nothing on its own. The magic happens when you connect a smartphone via Bluetooth and fire up a universal remote app created by Dijit Media. The result promises to be an all-encompassing solution to remote woes. The concept has been tried before to various degrees of success. Upcoming Motorola tablets will have built-in IR transmitters while Logitech’s Haromny system (built-in to Google TV) also provides a simple way to control multiple devices from a smartphone. The Beacon is a great concept but it creates yet another device to buy and connect. Ultimately it will live and die by the app that makes the magic happen"
