Are you one of those old-school types who still watches TV programs on
an actual television? Then you probably also own one or fifteen of those
cordless channel changer contraptions -- you know, the kind that use AA
batteries and magic beams of light to command station and volume
adjustments. Well, set down the remote, lean back in that oversized
plastic-covered velvet sofa, and get ready to toss out your last pair of
alkalines. Zero1's new VooMote Zapper remote module has been making the rounds at IFA, letting you use any iOS device as a universal remote. Sure, the concept itself isn't new -- there have been other iOS-integrated remotes
-- but the Zapper is small, relatively inexpensive, and interfaces
quite nicely with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Your programmed
selections are stored on the Zapper itself, so you can easily use it
with multiple iOS devices.

durability with all these new technical names that describe toughness.
Before you ask, WE ARE NOT GETTING THIS SMARTPHONE. Just something I wanted share.

design that will confirm that.
If you are a pac-man addict, or for that matter any of the old retro
games that just don’t feel right without a joystick then this will
definitely be up your alley.
Why not buy 2 and turn your phone into some mutated PS3 controller?
Step your instagram game up to a whole other level.
They say a big part of photography is in your lenses and phone
photography is in your app, well with this combination you’ll be the
next Annie Leibovitz or Chase Jarvis in no time.
