Updated RedEye Gives Users More Setup Options From The Web

ThinkFlood has been making a name for themselves in the iPad/iPhone/iPod accessory market, which seems to get more and more crowded with each passing day. The company's RedEye IR dongle stood out, however, as it gave Apple's line of devices the ability to control pretty much any home component that accepts IR, which is an awful lot of components.

And now, RedEye owners will soon be able to setup and manage their RedEye systems using any Web browser connected to their home network. With the update, users won't be confined to setting things up within iOS, instead they can use more flexible platforms such as a PC or other mobile OS. The RedEye browser app gives (Wi-Fi) RedEye customers the ability to use any PC browser to control their RedEye systems and edit activity layouts. With RedEye app version 2.0, custom layouts are even easier to configure with the ability to select and move multiple buttons at once, align edges automatically and more. RedEye customers may also run the application from a variety of mobile Web browsers -- such as those included with Android and BlackBerry operating systems. ThinkFlood developers say that while the RedEye browser app performs well in tests using non-iOS mobile browsers, version 2.0 is not specifically optimized for them.

Around 70 shortcuts are available from the top, and the updated iOS app will be available within a few days.
