EventPhone - iPhone/iPod Touch Client for EventGhost

Melloware provides creative and useful software

EventPhone is an EventGhost Client for the iPhone/iPod Touch and is a native iPhone application that allows you to control your home theatre PC running Windows. Since the iPhone uses a network connection it does not need "line-of-sight" like traditional infrared remotes and you can use it anywhere in or out of your house! You already use EventGhost for your home automation needs, now go the extra step and hide your PC in the closet and control everything from your iPhone/iPod Touch!

The purpose of this program is simple: to allow complete control of your Home Theatre PC from your iPhone/iPod Touch with the touch of a finger.

Do you use VLC or MediaPortal to watch videos? Do you use GBPVR, DVBViewer, MediaCenter, XBMC, or SageTV for DVR? Maybe Winamp, MediaMonkey, BSPlayer, or ITunes for music? Maybe you control your high end receiver with EventGhost already? Maybe you control your house with X10 from EventGhost already? Control them all from the comfort of your iPhone or iPod Touch!

Did you get your Apple in my Microsoft, or did I get my Microsoft in your Apple? (1980's tv commercial)
