With our smartphones pretty much entering every facet of our lives, why not give it the ability to turn into a universal remote control, right? Griffin may have the answer for you in the form of the Beacon, which is a device you place near your home theatre setup. It basically does nothing on its own as it just sports a built-in IR blaster, but thanks to an app by Dijit Media, it turns your smartphone into a universal remote.
It pairs with your smartphone via Bluetooth and is a great solution for those with too many remote controls to handle, or for those who constantly find themselves searching high and low for the remote. You can check out the demonstration of the Beacon and Dijit Media app in this video here.
