iPhone users who are on the prowl for a new universal remote for their home theater system might want to take note that Gear4′s UnityRemote universal remote control has paid a visit to the FCC, and should be on track for its planned October release date. The UnityRemote app can be installed on your iOS device, which will then communicate with the UnityRemote IR blaster via Bluetooth. The device will be able to send signals in a 360 degree radius, controlling all sorts of AV equipment within sight. If you’ve got your heart set on this, be prepared to shell out $99 for the UnityRemote when it’s released.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
