It would be great to use your iPhone as a universal remote, wouldn’t it? Sure it would! The only problem is, it doesn’t really work without a clunky IR transmitter attached to it. On the other hand, your iPhone can talk to other stuff through Bluetooth… It’s just too bad that your AV equipment can’t deal with that. You see where this is going, right?
The folks at Audiovox have come up with a system called Zentral, which is just a box plus a universal remote iPhone app. All the box itself really is,

CES 2010 as always was a mega event but for some reason Panasonic chose not to unveil its latest lineage of G2 HDTV’s at the event. Whatever was the intent behind keeping the latest HDTV series away from the event, considering what Panasonic is offering, it is surely a nice surprise for gadget freaks.
Announced by Panasonic Japan, the G2 series will debut in the local market on February 5 but there is still no information about the HDTVs that broke cover at the CES.

This has been done before, but the Airnergy is able to harvest electricity with a high enough efficiency to make it practically useful: on the CES floor, they were able to charge a BlackBerry from 30% to

SEGA have just announced that it will be moving it focus away from ‘mature’ over 18 cert Wii games in the future. After the slow sales of its mature Wii games such as Madworld and The Conduit games.

Skype is the future of video chats is a long established fact but things should never be taken for granted even if you are the best in business. Skype tends to follow this mantra and that is the reason why the service has been so successful.
The latest feather in Skype’s cap is the collaboration with LG and Panasonic that will see Skype as a built-in feature in the internet laden TV sets. All this means that if you possess a Panasonic or an LG HDTV, Skype could very well be a part of your living room and not just the

The folks at Parrot have released a new toy RC toy called the AR.Drone, a “quadricopter” that can be controlled and viewed with an iPhone or iPod touch through a WiFi connection. The AR.DRONE works like a remote control helicopter with four separate helicopter blades to maneuver the device, but that is definitely not what makes this copter cool.
What really sets this guy apart from the others is that you can control it with your iPhone or iPod touch using the built-in accelerometers which will sense which way you tip the
