Has anyone come across an app that can be a remote for your entertainment system? or an app that could make someone rich could be an app that turns your ipad into a touch screen remote control for any of your toy's, think about it, they could sell high powered receivers that can be put in all types of models, boats, cars, planes ect. The software would always be upgradable, you should be able to have a multitude of channel options, screen/controller layout options, on screen telementry and data logging and so forth, it's endless what could be customized. A fully programable remote control app that could opperate all your toy's and home entertainment needs, I want it. This kind of app would make a meal of companies like logitech and other home based remote manufactures not to mention the rc based like specktrum and fubata.
There are numerous apps for turning your I thing into a remote.
I think Futaba and Spektrum are safe for now.

I'm of the same opinion, don't think Futaba or the other major players have much to worry about, at least short term.
I know this is about electronics, but suspect you'd have had more discussion posting in the chat room.

I take it you haven't seen Traxxas' new radio, the TQi? Pretty much turns you iPod touch/iPhone into the main settings function of the tx. Shows live telemetry and has all the trims and settings on the screen.
Just thought I'd let you know
