Overall, the RedEye iPhone universal remote system works very well. As long as all of your gear works with IR, then you’re set. The app is pretty slick looking and has enough functionality to shake a stick at. But there are two huge problems here. First, the dock isn’t intended to move, so either you’ll want to have all of your IR gear in one room, or, to ThinkFlood’s delight, you could buy more than one RedEye dock. But now we’re to problem two; it costs way too much.

I stopped by the New Kinetix booth today at CES 2010 to check out the Re Remote. This remote is similar to the L5 remote, it just costs more. Sadly, this premium cost does not get you any more features or a better looking interface. It does however, get you a larger dongle. The guys at L5 wouldn’t let me film their interface since it was still subject to change before release. Suffice to say, it’s much prettier.
