Just another universal remote for your iPhone?

“Beacon puts control of the home theater right at your fingertips,” said Matt Brown, Griffin’s Director of Product Development.
Just another gadget to get your money off you or something really useful?
Beacon converts the Bluetooth (range is 30′ with Bluetooth or Infrared line-of-sight) signal of Apple’s products into infrared signal, thus allowing users to control AV devices. The system then displays the channels, volume options, input, program DVR etc on the multi-touch iOS screen and lets users customize the options.
For some odd reason it runs on 4 AA batteries and not off your wall which we dont get. It’s compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Beacon can be purchased from Apple Stores, or from Griffin’s website for $79,99. The Dijit app is free on iTunes. No longer will you need to put down your iPhone while watching TV, now with the beacon it can be with during TV time.
That's what they say on Mobile Magazine, and who am I , the mere geek , to argue?
