Most people have their cell phone with them, so why not use your cell phone as a remote?

No one wanted to carry around a camera in addition to their phone, so now most smartphones have a camera in them.

People didn't want to carry around a separate media player, so Smartphones now play music and videos.

So, why is it taking so long for Smartphone makers to realize it would be appealing to users if they could use their phone to control their home TV equipment instead of always searching for a separate/dedicated remote?

A whole new category of apps would be born with really cool abilities if smartphones just included an 20-cent IR LED in them!
