It seems that literally every time I start browsing the ’net I find something else controlled by an iPhone. Here’s a sampling:

iPhone controlled R/C Car
An actual Oldsmobile
Dance lights
A minivan (2007)
R2D2
Dog feeders
Military Drones

What next? How about a bi-pedal walking robot named Walky.  The robot and controller were developed by a group of grad students [...]

I’ve seen a few cars being driven by the iPhone, that’s cool and all, but the guys from Mythbusters have basically been doing that for years.  Starting your car with the iPhone makes sense, but driving hands free?  The people from Engineer Awesome, which is a part of Waterloo Labs at National Instruments, make it [...]

The CasaTunes PC-based system is designed for 6- or 12-room audio, although according to their latest press release, it can now control up to 48 rooms — now that’s a big house! You can probably guess that [...]

Of course “there’s an app for that,” but now it’s becoming increasingly common that there’s “a remote for that.” And by that, I mean everything.
Take this week alone: first we reported about the remote controlled power strip, then there was the remote control toilet, followed by the remote controlled wizard adventure.
