Think off all the havoc you could wreak with that.  I guess it would sort of be like that TV zapper that was mentioned here awhile ago, but with more control.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 8th 2006 9:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LocaModa Street Surfer turns cellphones into remotes ... sort of]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/locamoda-street-surfer-turns-cellphones-into-remotes-sort-of/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/locamoda-street-surfer-turns-cellphones-into-remotes-sort-of/</guid><description><![CDATA[Uh...if you have a phone with IR you can use it as a remote too]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BILLYBADASS]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 8th 2006 9:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LocaModa Street Surfer turns cellphones into remotes ... sort of]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/locamoda-street-surfer-turns-cellphones-into-remotes-sort-of/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/locamoda-street-surfer-turns-cellphones-into-remotes-sort-of/</guid><description><![CDATA[What do you use for this, Billybadass?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Simon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 9th 2006 7:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LocaModa Street Surfer turns cellphones into remotes ... sort of]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/locamoda-street-surfer-turns-cellphones-into-remotes-sort-of/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/locamoda-street-surfer-turns-cellphones-into-remotes-sort-of/</guid><description><![CDATA[I would prefer using my remote control.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Friends]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 9th 2006 8:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LocaModa Street Surfer turns cellphones into remotes ... sort of]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/locamoda-street-surfer-turns-cellphones-into-remotes-sort-of/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/locamoda-street-surfer-turns-cellphones-into-remotes-sort-of/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks for posting about StreetSurfer. To answer some questions posted here.... We could of course use BT and/or IR, but sadly most people don't know how to use those features. Using the cellular interface also enables us to treat the phone as a cookie - so if/when a user returns to the web, they can type in their phone number and continue their journey on-line. So for example, imagine a screen in a bar showing a playlist of the music playing. Call the number on the screen and select a new song by pressing your phone keypad. Go to the web, type in your phone number, and see the playlist, download songs etc. Same application can also be used as a "Digital Mannequin". Using an conventional remote would not work as it it not independently addressable, would not be understood by an IP narrowcast network and would not achieve the closed loop back to the web that we feel is so important. Of course we can use BT and/or IR, but then only Engadget readers would know how to use it:).  Great blog btw.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stephen Randall]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 18th 2006 12:16PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
