Comprised of an accessory and free app, the L5 Remote transforms the iPhone and iPod touch, and now even the iPad, into a personal universal remote that controls televisions, DVD players, DVRs, cable boxes, audio equipment, and most other products that come with an infrared remote. Setting up the device to mimic your other remotes is pretty seamless and you can actually manage which “buttons” show up via a simple drag-and-drop technique.
Many of us have dreamt of turning Apple’s greatest creation into a powerful touchscreen entertainment management system, and this may prove to be the first step in the right direction.
