For those who have everything: The RÄ“

The RÄ“ can imitate the function of remote controls for TVs, DVDs, and other devices.

The RÄ“ and its free downloadable app can “make your iPhone a remote.” The infrared emitter on this smart phone attachment can be set to imitate the function of remote controls for TVs, DVDs, and other devices by “replicating their signals.” The software application then allows­ you to group favorite channels, rearrange the buttons to put them where you like, and even store complex sequences, such as those required to call up recordings from a DVR.

Price: $69.95
