Yes think of using mobile instead of remote to control your TV,DVD,home theater and so on..(actually the list is very long !)
LG has announced the Optimus Vu II for the Korean market. The Android-powered smartphone comes with a new app called the Q Remote which adds IR (infrared) functionality to the handset. The Q Remote can play with compatible set top boxes, home appliances and other devices/gadgets by LG. In other words, the device can double up as a remote control for your home.
Besides its remote functions, the company hasn't released any other technical details for the device. According to a report, the smartphone will control over 300 brands of TV, set-top boxes, A/V equipment and other technology. Interestingly, the new app will help the device automatically recognise when you’re at home.
"When the Vu II figures out you’re connected to your home WiFi network, it automatically adds remote control shortcut buttons to its lockscreen. That way, even if your phone is locked, the rest of your family and your friends can use it to control your home entertainment system," SlashGear said in a report.
The new device is expected to be a special edition with the same specs as the current model. Optimus Vu features a 12.7-cm (5-inch) 4:3 aspect ratio display with a 1024 x 768 resolution and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
The device will be launched next month in the company's home country (South Korea). The Tegra 3-powered Optimus Vu will also be available in the US on Verizon's network as LG Intuition around the same time.
