After going through some rough times with its RedEye mini dongle and
doing right by replacing them, ThinkFlood appears to be running full
beam ahead once more. Specifically, the company has announced that
RedEye owners will soon have the ability to setup and control their
remote systems straight from their PC or mobile browser. On the mobile
front, apparently the web app will even work on Android and BlackBerry
devices, despite being optimized for Safari on iOS -- hinting that non
iPhone owners could possibly let their phones control more than their
social lives soon. Setup wise, the web version also allows users to
automatically align and move multiple buttons at once, plus assign
commands to over 70+ keyboard shortcuts. Combined with the ability to
make adjustments using a mouse on a computer's larger screen, tweaking
custom RedEye remote layouts just got infinitely easier -- you hear
that Harmony? The iOS app 2.0 update is also now available as a free
'Plus' download in the iTunes store, and finally supports the iPad's
lovely screen in either orientation. In a sense, it's further
substantiating the tablet's new career path as a jumbo-buttoned geezer
remote of the future, but hey -- no gripes here.
