Universal remote control for iPhone

There are a lot of really cool add-ons for the iPhone. Ever since this amazing device was introduced to the public, many manufacturers have produced some cool accessories for this mobile phone. Most consumers are very familiar with the beautiful iPhone speakers and many of the iPhone cases, but there are some very specialized accessories that add entirely new functionality to the iPhone.

The newest iPhone accessory that has been shaking up the iPhone community is called the Red Eye. This device has been available for about a year and has been growing in popularity. This simple plug and play device turns your iPhone into a fully customizable IR (infrared) remote control. Once you connect the Red Eye to your iPhone and install the free app, you can use it to control your TV, receiver, DVD player, and any other device that uses an IR remote.

The first generation Red Eye remote control for your iPhone connected to the 32-pin connector at the bottom of the device. The newer Red Eye, now called the Red Eye Mini, plugs into the headphone jack and is more than half the size of the previous model. The latest Red Eye was released during CES 2011 and is already on sale on many popular websites and the price is less than $40. Now it comes with its own case that fits on your keychain so you never lose it.

This cool device actually costs around $50, but you can find it for much less if you know where to buy it online. There are so many great iPhone accessories available, but there is none that will give you the kind of functionality and convenience that the RedEye Mini offers. There’s no reason to have 5 remotes anymore, now you can store them all on your phone!
