Recently we reported on the upcoming Nevo SL universal Wi-Fi remote as one of the hot new products to look for at CES 2005. However, Matt Voda, VP of Sales & Marketing for Promixis, contacted us to let us know that when their $19.99 NetRemote application is combined with a Wi-Fi enabled Pocket PC handheld users are able to match the functionality of the Nevo SL, and then some.
With NetRemote, Windows users are able to browse their PC's music by artist, genre, playlist, title or even by album cover, adjust the volume, and let the music play from anywhere in their house via the their wireless network. What's more, if your Pocket PC has an IR transmitter, the application turns your handheld into a universal learning remote that can take advantage of the thousands of Philips Pronto CCF files to instantly control all of you home A/V gear.
And if that wasn't enough, when used in conjunction with Girder (Proxmis' popular, multipurpose automation tool), HomeSeer, or variety of other 3rd party applications, NetRemote can transform your Pocket PC into a convenient home automation controller with scripting capabilities (requires NetRemote Pro - $29.99).
* NetRemote supports all major Pocket PC handhelds including the Dell Axim, Compaq iPaq, and tablet PCs as well as leading media players such as the J-River Media Center and Windows Media Player
