Sony 3D Blue-ray systems to Support iPhone Remote

3D TV is being pushed from all angles and today Sony has pulled the cloth off of its first Blue-ray players officially being labeled as 3D capable. The BDP-S470 player is expected to have a firmware update by mid summer which will support 1080p playback and should be shipping “on or around March 18th” for only $200. iPhone users get an extra bonus as this player can be controlled by the new BD Remote App developed by SONORAN BLUE. The app sports both a simple or full remote view plus a soft keyboard and provides additional disc information. The S470 is just the first of many new devices said to support this remote option including the new BDV-E770W & E570 Home Theatre Systems.

No official word has come down from SONORAN yet but many fans are begging for them to build in PS3 support. If this was done, an iPhone user could pair up with a product like the L5 remote and have a true universal remote capable of competing with a Logitech Harmony.

Trackr might be the first app to let you remotely start torrent downloads, but that doesn’t mean it’s anywhere near decent. This RSS reader/torrent downloader mash-up fails in both categories.

Although limited in its feature set, this free app from Directv allows you to set your DVR to record programs on the fly. And it works!

Air Mouse Pro allows you to use your iPhone as your computer’s mouse over your wireless network. If you like to hook your computer up to your television or like surfing the web from your sofa, Air Mouse Pro may just remove any need for you to ever move from the sofa.
