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.

@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!)

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

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.

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.

@Barak They did add that option! :)

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.

iRremote will replace all my 5 individual remotes that control my TV, home theater, DVD, satellite, and radio AV equipment!

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.

I always thought that IR in my devices has no use. Was I wrong! This application is a revolutionary one.

Viva Psiloc and SiMo!

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!

With five sibblings using my real remote it disappears occasionally (quite often actually :))

Btw... I love this blog!

Does it work well on an E90? If so then I'd like to win :-)
Thanks and keep up the blogging.

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!

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.
