Sony Ericsson’s Mobile Phone/Universal Remote Control

We all know that Sony is quite creative in the development of new gadgets for the home and personal use. We’ve seen quite a few of them over last months – like 3D Game Controller, Multimedia Cradle and Human Body Communication System.

Now Sony Ericsson has another interesting thingy designed for your mobile phone – the possibility for it to download interfaces and act as a remote control for any device.

The idea, described in patent application “Mobile communication terminal with virtual remote control” is pretty simple:

…and you have a ready made cellphone/universal remote that can control any electronic device in your home.

    I sure wish someone with half a brain and more programing experience than me would make this thing before SONY does because if not, SONY will charge an arm and a leg to get and I’m sure it will be just as proprietary as all their other products. I really don’t understand why this has not been developed already. Is it just because SONY got the patent first so they could lock out modders from making the software themselves, or did SONY actually lock out the use of the IR port on the phone so no one could make their own homebrew application?
