Android has found itself into another device: a universal remote.

Very, very, cool. This is easily a device I would purchase, as it serves a very useful function.

A smartphone/tablet would be just as good, if all devices supported the same communication framework, which alas, they dont. In the meantime, this seems like great solution and a fierce competitor to Logitech's harmony remote.

Here's hoping the implementation matches the strength of the idea.
