RedEye mini – iPhone/iPod Touch Universal Remote

Now I know in the past I’ve kind of frowned on the idea of universal remotes being done on an iPhone or iPod touch, but I may have decided to turn around and say that they might be a good idea.  This seems to be a great idea.  They also have a more full featured one, that seems like overkill, but I think it stands a chance.  Now, probably the reason that I’m kind of up on the idea now is that I have an iPhone 3G that is nearing the end of its life, and I’d like to use it for more than a glorified Walkman. 

Engadget has an article here about this product, plus more pictures. 

Universal Remote’s MX-810 Pro Wizard Remote: Not for the Faint of Pocket

Some of the universal remotes that have come out lately have been pretty sweet. But nothing has reached the level of the MX-810 Pro Wizard Remote

The MX-810 Pro Wizard Remote, can control up to 24 different devices (and 24 different functions per device), all of which are stored in 32 GB of memory, making this remote more powerful than my first computer.

There’s an LCD up top that’s completely customizable, and you’re able to store favorite channels and all the goodies on it for for quick access. The MX-810 is both RF- and IR-compatible.

If you can get past the $400 price tag, and you probably can if you’re a 'well to do geek', then it looks like it might be worth your time. I wonder if it’s comfortable to hold, though.
