My TV Remote for iPhone

Posted by | Cool Stuff | No Comments

This is a Universal Remote application for the iPhone called TV Remote which is $10 at the iTunes app store. It comes with an infared emitter control for the TV. Simply plug the infrared emitter into your headphone jack, and now you can use your iPhone to control the TV. It looks great! “Instead of acting like your current remote control by providing the same buttons on a digital screen, the My TV Remote app provides a significantly improved user experience. Rather than flipping through channels on your TV via up and down arrow buttons, a TV guide is downloaded to your phone so you can thumb through channels the same way you do music. Furthermore, you can see what shows are on each channel and read descriptions or ratings of the shows.”

In true James Bond fashion, this gold plated pencil is actually a gun with a concealed trigger and a 2 3/4-inch barrel that forms a .22 pistol. This “pencil pistol” belonged to Lord Mountbatten, who originally received this as a gift from an Indian Maharaja as the last Viceroy of India. This 7-inch-long pencil pistol made in 1948 to the Maharaja of Jodhpur’s own design is now placed on the auction block in London to fetch nearly £1000 on June 24.
