App for that?

13 replies

Any B&O apps on the iphone yet? Must be coming if not, no?

Not quite following this...

Do you mean like BeoPlayer? or do you mean a utility like Configuration Guide?

I doubt we would see anything at all, most especially from B&o themselves...

apps for the iphony ? why would that be ? B&O has the serene and serenata as a cell phone !

or do you mean the iphone should be able to replicate with the beocom2 or beocom6000 adressbook at home ?

sure, couldn't a programmer make a 'virtual beo5' for the iphone and have it work as a remote? or something along those lines? I would think that would be a popular app and make a lot of money for the programmers... How much would you pay for a nice B&O app? I would pay quite a bit if it was a good one! Stay tuned, I bet one will be out before year end.

Well, it doesn't exactly work like a typical remote (unless dealing perhaps with iRed/IRTrans or similar???).

I suppose this would be more of a "skinning" of existing remote apps that run via a network.

++++EDIT++++

Looks like iRed has indeed already done it... 

They have some sort of skinning via digital photo of your remote.

I guess the question is: why not just buy a Beo5 at this point? I am Apple-crazy, but that is what I would do...

Burantek,

I do have a couple of Beo5- and I love the idea but have had lot of programming problems (and blame Time/Warner for some of them)... thanks for the other link, I'll check it out.

Best,

Adam.

bno can't even write decent software for their own products let alone apple's

OK. Well, now I see where you are coming from...

If you are looking for a bolt-simple programmable remote control(s), I can't recommend Logitech Harmonies high enough!

On the other hand, you might want to take a hard look at that link above. I believe there are maybe a couple of iRed users on here that could shine more light.

Of course, you could click on the Beo5 programming link below, and have them properly sorted out!

P.S. As a fellow TWC customer, I am curious as to what issues you might be having? I have programmed my Logitechs to handle DVR and HDDVR Scientific Atlanta boxes from them.

Thanks Burantek,

The problems I have currently are with the "A" "B" "C" keys... they are programmed but not working thus far (after being worked on twice by the pros at B&O)... Nothing huge, just annoying. I'm really trying to get down to one remote, pretty close with the Beo5.

Best,

Adam.

Not an app, but save this photo to your iphone camera roll and set as wallpaper. 😁 I agree, i would love some type of B&O app but i cant see it happening (hope im wrong).
