Lucky enough to have an iPhone and a house networked for sound and video? Looking for a way to access all that media goodness trapped inside your iPhone on the big-screen TV and through the sexy speakers you paid so much for? Well, iPort – makers of swish in-wall docks for Apple’s PMP products – have upgraded their range to be compatible with the iPhone. What that means is you can have a clean, professional looking iPhone hutch in your living room wall and, from the comfort of a control panel in the sauna, access all the clips of dancing cats you’ve been collecting and storing on your cellphone.
Compatibility with distributed media stalwarts Crestron and AMX lets you use any of their remote control range – from a simple IR blaster to a swanky touchscreen panel – to control and access the media stored on either an iPhone or iPod. The upgraded iPort range starts at $200 for a basic in-wall dock, but if you want the two-way control you’re looking at upward of $800 a piece.
Looking good! I will order one.
