New Potato's FLPR turns iPhone, iPod touch into a Universal Remote Control

New Potato Technologies has introduced FLPR, a revolutionary new accessory and app that transforms iPhone and iPod touch into a universal remote control. FLPR lets users control multiple electronic devices, including televisions, cable and satellite boxes, stereo systems, lights, ceiling fans and just about anything else that uses an infrared remote control.

FLPR is a snap to set up. After purchasing the FLPR infrared interface and popping it into the iPhone/iPod touch dock connector, users simply download the free FLPR app from the App Store(SM) online store. Once the app is launched, choose the device "type," select "brand," "name it" and "use it." It's that easy. FLPR comes pre-programmed with over 14,000 remote control codes, including all major electronics brands.

Unlike other universal remote solutions for iPhone and iPod touch, FLPR's extensive database of over 14,000 pre-programmed remote control codes means that you don't have to spend time learning your existing remotes "button by button." FLPR works with hundreds of brands of devices out of box with no programming necessary.

FLPR is also a learning remote. If the remote control code for that old television in the guest bedroom is not in the extensive FLPR database, you can easily teach FLPR the code for that old relic, creating a brand new remote. FLPR has a range of about 30 feet and is powered by the iPhone/iPod touch.

The user-friendly, stylish interface of FLPR rivals that of expensive, high-end universal remotes. What's more, FLPR can be personalized with the included free background skins. The screen for each device you control can have a distinct look so you can instantly tell the remote for the television apart from the iPod docking sound system.

The FLPR application itself is available for FREE in the iTunes store. The FLPR infrared interface is available from NewPotatoTech.com and in-store nationwide at Best Buy on March 28, 2010 for $79.99.
