Symbian in Motion: [Contest] An Early Holiday Present From Psiloc!

  • Tilli · 2 years ago
    Alright then, I want and need one! ;-)

    I tell you why: I've used it while it was in public beta and everytime my girlfriend had the IR-Remote and switched to another channel while I was watching soccer I used my N95 to switch back!

    And if that's not enough, here's a little joke.

    A taxi driver and a prist are in the final round of a Limerick competition. The priest has to start, the host of the show says to the Priest: "Create a a limerick around 'timbuktu'".

    The priest says:
    "Well, I was a prayer all my life
    had no children, had no wife
    I read the bible through and through
    on my way to Timbuktu".

    The crowd is cheering, no it's the taxi-driver's turn.

    The host also says "TIMBUKTU".

    The taxi driver begins:
    "When Tim and I to Brisbane went
    we met some women with their tent
    they were three and we were two
    so I booked one and Tim booked two"

    ;-)

    Hey... I'd like one because I'm a N95 lover, and only with IrRemote I can use my N95 in a complete form.

    By the way, I have a Brasilian blog about N95 (nlog95.tiv.com.br), and when Psiloc started to sell IrRemote I have posted it in the blog.

    Thank you!!!!! ;)
  • Marcelo Manzo · 2 years ago
    Well I love IrRemote because I can retire my Tv Ir Controls.

    And also, (the most important), I can go to Bar and change the tv channels if a deslike it...

    the waiters become crazy and my friends die of laugh
  • vjeko · 2 years ago
    I got a visit from the future and dude said that i must get this license code or the universe will be destroyed. Save the universe :)
  • ersguterjunge · 2 years ago
    Hi...
    i´m a n95 user, too.
    i want the license because irRemote is an irreplacable app
    for all symbian users.

    thx
    #ersguterjunge
  • veb · 2 years ago
    I would like one, pretty please!!!!
  • Rita El Khoury · 2 years ago
    i don't want the psiloc ir because my phone (3250) doesn't have an IR connection, but i'm posting for the heck of posting :p oh and yes because i never win something i want, maybe i could win something i don't want :D nice contest btw, zach :D

    lol, seriously, i'm too bored today, although i have 200000 thgs to do!
  • Vladimir · 2 years ago
    Well honestly I would really like if someone could make a good SMS threaded chat application that will integrate well into the OS. I would be really glad if Psiloc can make such application because I'm sure it would rock like irRemote is rocking right now.

    Thanks!
  • Nick · 2 years ago
    Man, I remember using irRemote on my old Nokia 3650, and thought it was great, but 3 Symbian devices and a whole bunch of other phones later, and I had completely forgotten how awesome it is. I'd love to have it on my E61i! :)
  • Adam_Dempsey · 2 years ago
    I used to use irRemote back on my 6600 and I loved it! If I don't win this I will definatley be buying a new license anyway!
  • steve4130 · 2 years ago
    i'd like to write some clever or funny comment here to increase my chances of winning, but i'm not a clever or funny person :)
  • pilsner · 2 years ago
    your site rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • MrFust · 2 years ago
    What can I say... I do have lots of apps which I've paid for but am always on the look out for something free. Psiloc release great apps (I am currently beta testing Locatik, which is pretty cool if you have lots of friends on there) and think that IrRemote is cool! Please give me a licence code as I don't want to have to pay for it :-)
  • P. · 2 years ago
    What can I say? :) Today I've checked the Intomobile contest results - unfortunately I didn't win.
    And here comes another nice way to win a free licence for a great app. Maybe this time I'll be more lucky? ;)

    Besides the contest - and as usual - keep up the good work, Zach. You've got my word that at least I'm waiting for new posts on SiMo ;)
  • Jeremy · 2 years ago
    It's pretty simple ... the more cool applications that are loaded onto my N95, then the bigger my "manhood" is. Everybody knows that. 'Nuff said. Thank you in advance.
  • Helge Ringberg · 2 years ago
    I would like unlimited access to psiloc's irremote because I just spent a fortune on the N95 8GB and can't afford the ir remote software :(

    With regards to your site I love it because u go threw the hundreds of apps out there in a nice clean way and u sorta pick my apps. Dont mind :D
  • Tarek Ghazali · 2 years ago
    hmmm let me think,

    1)I want to mess with my uni's projectors and air conditioners.

    2)I want to mess with every TV I find in public place.

    3)I waited months for this app to be released, and it had expired before I managed to get it to work any of the TV sets at my home. DAMN YOU OLD REMOTES!!

    4)And I'm too lazy to get a cracked one. lol!
  • Emre SUMENGEN · 2 years ago
    I love ir-Remote because it had saved my ass, back in the day of my 6600, when I had to do a maintanence task on over 40 plasma tv's all on public places with all remotes lost! The highest ladder I found back then was not enough to reach the onboard buttons, but it worked well enough for me to get into the IR range of the 6600 :) That way I had saved myself an embarrassment...

    I love psiloc, 'cause they made it possible... Even a trial saved me. Now I have an E61 and look longingly for it again.

    And, finally, I love SiMO... Because, besides all, today it can make me win something I like very much :)

    PS: I _also_ like the posts :P

    Keep up the good work...
  • Andy best · 2 years ago
    i am an n95 usuer and need this app. i work in an eletronics shop and want this app to change the tv's and hi fi equipment when i want to and to play jokes on people that come into the shop.
  • Adam · 2 years ago
    i love ir-Remote because truly adds to the N95 catch phrase of "more in my pocket".

    Psiloc is one of the few companies that make 3rd party applications that reflect the needs of the users. They make buying any phone easy since their apps fill in for the shortcomings of the phone.

    SiMo is amazing !!! ENUF SAID :)
  • symbianaddict · 2 years ago
    I love Simo

    Psiloc makes some amazing applications.

    IRemote is one of the most useful apps to come out for s60.

    Simo is amazing.

    Simo can have my girlfriend for 24 hours if you pick me!
  • Barisko · 2 years ago
    I'm quite positive I will win this GREAT app IRremote. I'm as random as a random contest winner, so we get along real good :)


    PS. Simo rocks!
  • diego · 2 years ago
    Ok, I want IR, why?, just to not discuss with my children.
    In other way, I love Psiloc apps. now I have runing since beta locatik, really nice track app.

    Nice contest!
  • MaTiCeK · 2 years ago
    I like your blog because it's one of the few blogs that regularily manage to introduce me to new apps that I would have heard of otherwise.
  • Mahmoud · 2 years ago
    well, i tried the demo of the app. and it was awesome.
    i could control almost every device in my house with my mobile even the ceiling fan, and although the ir of my e61 operates in a short range, the program still kicked ass. i would like to have license please ...
  • Eric · 2 years ago
    I like tofu... and SiMo... and my macbook... actually i'd like to be able to turn off the tv when the inlaws crank CCTV up to ELEVEN. I'd also like someone in the united states to ship the FJFKSAJKSA E51 for 300$
  • Slowpc · 2 years ago
    I would love one since well , my birthday is next week and it would be a great gift!!!
  • Matter · 2 years ago
    I love SiMo!! Soooooooo very much! It brings a tear to my eye. It really does....
  • malaeum · 2 years ago
    Zach, I think everyone wants you to pick me =)
  • aero9 · 2 years ago
    i like ur blog, just wish it was updated more often :-)
  • gdatuk · 2 years ago
    I wish to win the contest...

    Psiloc IR Remote will power up my N95-3 and make it a Complete Mobile solution

    SiMo is my SPOC (Single point of Contact) for all my symbian software related information...

    SiMo....Look nowhere else...Look Now Here..


    I win or dont win..Thanks for putting up such a contest.. u rock...
  • Cereal · 2 years ago
    I really want IR Remote because I live with 3 other students and a TV with no remote. We're all much too lazy to get off the sofa to change channel so currently use a kids' wooden horse head on a stick toy to poke the tv controls, not very effective or good for the the tv. Plus if I get infra red control of the TV, I control all the TVs, everywhere, and noone knows how. And now, Mr Bond, you will die.
  • Elad · 2 years ago
    I absolutely need this app more then anyone!
    My satellite remote control is broken for months and I'm too lazy to have it replaced!
  • Stefan · 2 years ago
    I miss this features since my old TI Avigo b0rked.
  • John · 2 years ago
    Okay, so let's think about this... I'm posting this from the great white north. Not only are we a few cell phones short of a conference call in the Symbian department (having to wait not only for European releases but also US releases) but we're such an accommodating people, we don't speak up enough to get anyones attention to change that.

    As a result, we rely on quality sources such as SiMo to allow us to participate vicariously, if only electronically, in the abundant and electronically propagated lives of other cellular users.

    Combine that with an environmental penchant for inclement weather (they don't call it the great white north for nothing!) and we are left with little more than the gadgetry at our finger tips to help us endure the long periods of snow, ice and Golden Girls re-runs.

    Having IR Remote would save me from manually extricating myself from my polar fleece body wrap blanket, dashing hell bent across the frozen tundra (careful to avoid the black ice forming on the pseudo-ceramic tile) to manually change the channel. This one license could do more to empower the cerebral livelihood of this one remotely challenged Canadian than any single act of international, cross-border, non-sectarian instance of "pay it forward" generosity imaginable.

    If for no other reason, "go green" and donate the licence in support of my ongoing efforts to reduce my carbon footprint. IR Remote will allow me to stay warm through self-generated combustion thereby reducing my consumption of fossil fuels reheating my external appendages after another rapid, but regular, dash to the television, stereo or similar electronic life support device.

    And if that doesn't work for you, how about Pretty, pretty, pretty please with a cherry on top? I really, really, really want this license.
  • Rolf · 2 years ago
    Cool. I would realy like to control my home stereo via mobile. Very good blog by the way! Keep it up!
  • pk · 2 years ago
    Because it's great :-)
  • Santosh · 2 years ago
    This is an interesting contest! I am actually heading out to buy N95 and E90 phones to everyone in our company. May be if I win both the codes, I could give them two of the lucky people and buy multiple licenses (I guess it would be like getting a good discount!) See how you can tilt the odds in my favor! Your blog is very addictive BTW and is the reason why I am buying E series and N series within our business!

    Keep up the good work!
  • Dave · 2 years ago
    Does it work well on an E90? If so then I'd like to win :-)
    Thanks and keep up the blogging.
  • Ari · 2 years ago
    What an efficient method for harvesting email addresses! This irRemote contest got mine.
  • zach · 2 years ago
    lol @Ari I don't keep addresses - although I probably should!

    Great comments guys - keep em coming! :)
  • Max · 2 years ago
    With five sibblings using my real remote it disappears occasionally (quite often actually :))

    Btw... I love this blog!
  • Jensemann · 2 years ago
    Since i'm addicted to my Nokia E61i, I take it with me everywhere. Even when i'm watching tv at home. That means that it would be great to control my TV with the iRemote, instead of using unnessesary time to find the tv-remotecontrol. I'm a lazy boy, you see:)
    Another reason is that I really want to fool my dad with this one. He won't understand a thing at all! Thats going to be soo funny:)

    Yeah, as some other people mentioned here, Psiloc makes some incredible useful apps for Symbian OS!
  • Dan · 2 years ago
    I fear dolphins.
  • zonep · 2 years ago
    I always thought that IR in my devices has no use. Was I wrong! This application is a revolutionary one.

    Viva Psiloc and SiMo!
  • momcat1 · 2 years ago
    I want to win a license because Iremote will be great fun to play with, and to see how many things I can connect with it.
  • Julian · 2 years ago
    iRremote will replace all my 5 individual remotes that control my TV, home theater, DVD, satellite, and radio AV equipment!
  • Barak · 2 years ago
    Personally, I'm kind of disappointed from Psiloc.
    I was beta testing IRRemote form an early version, and from my point of view, they should have listened more to the feedback. I mean, I does the work, but it could have done it better (they could have added an option to rotate the screen to the right [clock wise] so the IR port on the N95 will point toward the controlled device).

    uhmm... I guess I'm a bit grumpy.
    oh well.
  • zach · 2 years ago
    @Barak They did add that option! :)
  • Thomas · 2 years ago
    Well, to me its hard to know where to start.
    I guess I just became more and more frustrated with how locked-down all of my previous Sprint-operated phones were. So, I explored the entire internets looking for alternatives, which pointed me towards Symbian. A google search later landed me on SiMo. After reading through practically every article, it just opened my eyes to what is possible with Symbian and I knew that this is what I wanted to experience.
    With all that said, I am now posting this from my new N95-3 and it's everything that I have wanted in a phone ... and I have SiMo to thank.
  • Jackie Cheng · 2 years ago
    omg omg...this program is sooo cool. Works with everything I have. Wish it could control my car too~~~ hohoho...
  • Izzy S · 2 years ago
    I definitely want this app. I tried it and its awesome. I made everyone laugh, including my teacher in school. Whenever they bring the tv into the class room I get ready to take out my phone and change the volume, the channel rewind and they won't know its me. It's so funny, school is so boring and sometimes I could use a little fun and this app would definitely help in achieving that.
  • Jesada · 2 years ago
    (arm raised quickly)OoOo Ooo...pick me, pick me...;-)
  • Sebastiaan · 2 years ago
    Zach,

    for the first time you got me posting here, though I have been loving your blog for months. I actually have to keep me from checking it every morning 6.30 AM when i arrive at work. (I manage to do it every other day now ;-))

    Greetings,

    Sebastiaan
  • Barak · 2 years ago
    @Zach, damn. I didn't saw that... (oops?)
    (In the last beta version, the landscape mode was upside down from the last version.)

    Psiloc, I take my words back.
    (But the web-wizard still need more work!)
  • Craig Paterson · 2 years ago
    No matter how many times I try and take control of the TV remote in my house, the wife always manages to smuggle it back.

    I'd love to be able to use my N95 to zap the TV without having to keep wrestling the remote from her all the time.
  • Erden · 2 years ago
    Is it realy working? It is not working on my E61i
  • zach · 2 years ago
    It works perfectly for me Erden - what problems are you having?
