philips remote.JPG iPod lovers are even getting their own universal remotes now, thanks to Philips.

The new Philips SJM3151 does have that edge though since not only do get to fully control your iPod using the bundled dock but you get to control all the rest of your home entertainment kit too.

It offers control for up to six devices, from DVD players and satellite boxes to TVs and AV receivers, and thanks to support for the Zigbee RF wireless standard, it can communicate with your iPod at distances up to 100m – give or take a few walls.

Even better, the LCD screen mimics your iPod’s so you can see what’s on and choose what you like from anywhere in the house.

A PC version sporting a USB connector instead of an iPod dock is coming too. It’s due out this Autumn and will cost around £100.-Martin Lynch
