Today ThinkFlood revealed the new RedEye mini remote control hardware. They decided to do so in the same style as Gizmodo did with the iPhone 4.  It is a refreshing take on an official product reveal because not a lot of companies have this sense of humor. The new hardware is different from the original Redeye in that instead of having a base station in your living room and connecting over wifi to your iOS device, the mini plugs into your headphone jack.  This makes it completely portable and allows you to control any supported a/v device anywhere you go.  I highly suggest you head over to the linked articles and take a look.  I’m hoping we’ll be able to review the mini because it seems to solve all my complaints about the original RedEye but nothing has been confirmed yet.

This is ThinkFlood’s next iPhone, iPad, iPod touch remote—RedEye mini

    Griffin Mobile made something like this for Pocket PCs years ago. The IR emitter dongle plugged into the headphone jack and you ran a program on the Pocket PC that created the remote interface. You can see a picture of it in my Web site's logo (look on the left side).

    The problem was that you either had to keep the dongle in all the time (in which case you can't listen to your device) or you had to find someplace safe to store it. That's why I lost mine years ago.
