RedEye universal remote update adds universal browser support, new iPad app

ThinkFlood’s RedEye universal remote is getting a whole lot more useful, with the release of a new software update – RedEye app v2.0 – which adds browser control. Rather than demanding owners control the RedEye with an iOS device such as an iPhone or iPod touch, with the new software any browser – whether on a PC or Mac, or indeed on an Android or BlackBerry smartphone – will be able to operate the device.
Meanwhile there’s also an updated iOS app, v2.0 [iTunes link], which has native iPad support to take advantage of the tablet’s larger screen. The web version can be used to rearrange the button layout, too, and you can assign keyboard shortcuts to the various functions.
The RedEye itself is priced at $188 and is a WiFi to infrared bridge, capable of controlling multiple home cinema or other devices simultaneously
