Windows Phone Thoughts: Griffin Total Remote Reviewed by PocketPCMinds

"The Total Remote combination of hardware and software from Griffin Technology is a very innovative combination that works extremely well. Unlike other remote control for PocketPC software that is out there, the Total Remote package includes a small piece of hardware that plugs into your headphone jack. This departs from other solutions that use the built in IR port (although TR can use that too) or use a device which plugs into your CF slot. Yes, that’s right, TR uses your headphone jack! What a concept! Through some miracle of modern technology, TR uses specially coded sounds to drive the two IR transmitters bundled in the device. I’m no IR transmitter/light bulb/thingamabob expert, but these things are massive. They are bigger than the ones that are built into most of my actual remotes."
