New App for Droid and Imagio
February 23rd, 2010It is hard to believe some of the things that our cell phones can actually do. We have come from a time when cell phones were so big and clunky as well as so expensive that nobody could really afford them. Now our cell phones are mobile offices, as well as a way to connect to the Internet. Many of the functions of a laptop and our digital cameras can now be done with a touch of the finger by our cell phones. Just take a look at some of the wonderful things that our new touchscreen smart phones can do.
Now the Motorola Droid unlocked cell phone or HTC Imagio can download an application that will enable it to function as a remote control for a TV. We have had this concept for a while, but the folks at Verizon have just made it that much easier. This new application will allow you to control your television through the FiOS box utilizing your Wi-Fi connection. You will need to download the proper widget so you can set everything up. It will even allow you to send your photos directly to your TV.
Right now it is only available on the Droid and the Imagio, but we should see it available for the Droid Eris, as well as other phones in the coming future. When you download this app you even have graphics that resemble the remote control buttons just like the real thing.
A similar application is also available for your unlocked iPhone through utilizing the RedEye application. Just like other similar applications, the new FiOS allows you to set up the recording of your favorite programs.  Now you will never have to worry about missing your favorite shows. For those of us that often lose our remote control somewhere in that couch, at least we can now use our cell phones be able to control our TV.
