Between wireless power, ultra-thin televisions, flexible displays, and epaper, we’re really getting close to living in a science fiction movie. Unify4Life put a spin on the simple garage door opener by making a BlackBery application called “Garage|Shadow.” With this application, your BlackBerry becomes your garage’s remote.
The company states that it is responding to a survey it conducted where “1 in 3 respondents indicated they wanted to control their garage door from a BlackBerry smartphone.” At least they have a built-in audience.
You’ll have to install hardware in your garage that will receive your BlackBerry’s signal via Bluetooth. Once you install the application in your phone, you’ll get to carry around one less device. Just keep that phone charged. The Garage|Shadow will work on the 8800 series, Bold, Curve, and Pearl versions of BlackBerry and will be under $40 when released in April.
