only problem is i like to watch TV while messing around with my phone (installing new firmware, jailbreaking, etc)... i'd rather have an independent device anyway. Maybe when i upgrade to a new iphone... my Harmony suits me fine for now.

apple has severely limited the bluetooth capability of the iphone. It can pair with headsets, but that's about it.

I've tried countless remotes and, although this is a neat idea, I won't be going this route. IMHO, the iPhone has a lot of good use potential, but this isn't one of them. Signal output limitations and the UI are my primary concerns. After spending hours and hours programming and re-programming my Prontos, I finally have settled on a Logitech Harmony One, and I cannot imagine any iPhone app competing with its smooth touch interface and feature set. Granted, I had to pay dearly for the Harmony, but it rocks. I'll pass for now.

I think if anything it would be a great novalty like option to have to maybe show off a bit when entertaining but other than that I don't see the iphone that is curantly available turning into the all in one gadget.

If it could remote control my car.. It would be great.
I'd like to be able to Lock?Unlock the doors. Roll up and down the windows from my phone. I'm ALL IN, when they get that.

And yes, it has software for the iPhone. Delphi was also working on something like this, announced last year's CES, but no one seems to know if/when it will be released, can it work as an aftermarket add-on, etc. http://delphi.com/manufacturers/auto...h_gateway_fob/ I even emailed them, and so far no response.
