AUSTIN, TX-MiCommand Inc., a new breed consumer electronics company focused on smartphone and mobile compute devices, announced the availability of Control It All Remote with AirDoc. AirDoc technology lets users wirelessly stream music from their iPhone to their existing stereo. The combination of an iPhone universal remote and wireless music streaming is an industry first. The system is composed of an iPhone app and a Bluetooth transceiver unit.

Control It All Remote with AirDoc gives customers complete control using their iPhone.

Control It All Remote is the only product with the ability to share the streaming role among multiple iPhones with the touch of a button in the app. Other solutions require cumbersome Bluetooth disconnection and reconnection, which makes sharing roles impractical. “We’re excited about customer reaction to these latest innovations, and the prospect of future apps that take advantage of the AirDoc’s unique capabilities,” said Richard Bohl, vice president of engineering at MiCommand.

The question I put before you today is whether Conventional remotes will go the way of the pager–toward rapid extinction.

When you consider how smartphones are becoming pervasive and compare their raw technological capabilities versus that of say a Harmony remote, it’s clear that the Harmony remote is will experience a potentially cataclysmic turn of events. Consider the following feature comparison table:

Multi-room control……………….advantage Control It All
Through wall operation………..advantage Control It All (unless buy an add-on RF unit)
Multi-touch display………………advantage Control It All
Eyes Free gesture control……advantage Control It All
Rich infrared (IR) database….advantage Logitech (for older devices)
Dynamic Views…………………..advantage Control It All
Learning…………………………….toss up
Macro support…………………….advantage Logitech (for now at least)

Is the race is over? In remote control features alone, the Control It All Remote is to the Harmony remote as the cell phone was to the pager. Now here’s the kicker: when you take into account the convergence features of an iPhone (email, internet access, camera, and music streaming), and the the fact that the free Control It All app that can be loaded onto any number of iPods and iPads—giving each family member their personal customizable remote, the comparison isn’t even fair.

In the interest of fair disclosure, I’ll admit to having a strong bias. After all, it was a similar technical comparison that led MiCommand and develop an iPhone Remote. The iPhone’s ability to displace conventional remotes like the Harmony remote is just the beginning. The smartphone is the convergence device of the decade and will disrupt many single purposed products and markets. Head’s up GPS’, portable digital camera’s, mp3 players, and handheld games, a remote disguised as an iPhone is on a convergence path.
