It means you don't have to search around for that lost remote, get up to change the channel, or keep replacing the batteries in all the remotes already littering your home."</em></p><p><img height="261" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1328671815.usr105634.jpg" width="600" /></p><p>On the surface, it sounds like a great idea and I'm anxious to try this since it is available now from Apple for $70.00 USD. However, after reading <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2012/02/07/voomote-zapper-universal-remote-for-ios-a-first-look-and-a-rant/" target="_blank">this article</a> I may give it a bit before ordering until they work out the bugs. Then again, since Apple is great letting you return your purchases I might try it anyway and return it if it doesn't work out. </p>
