Threemote

Hello and welcome to the new online presence for Threemote, an exciting new product from the guys at Ikanos Consulting.

Specialising in PC remote controls, over here at Ikanos HQ we’ve been working hard for many years to develop interesting and funky devices for our customers and now its time to create something ourselves.

So we are proud to present Threemote, the power of the PC, away from the PC.  The best thing about Threemote is it uses the built-in remote control capabilities found in Windows Vista and Windows 7 (Windows SideShow) which means that all of your Threemote devices can control the same things without any custom, clunky software.

Our goal with Threemote is to convert all compatible mobile phones into remote controls.  We believe that having an extra device to hold just isn’t always practical, so why not take advantage of the device that’s always on and has more power than most PCs a few years ago!

So, straight off the starting blocks we’ll be announcing 3 devices: Google Android, Windows Phones and Kopin Golden-i.  And yes, we are working on others!

We believe in starting small and growing over time so rest assured that more features and device types will be added all the time, extending the Threemote experience.

How do I get it?

Initially while we put the finishing touches to our first releases, Threemote is only available as a Private Beta.  But don’t worry, anyone can apply.  Visit our contact form (http://www.threemote.com/contact.php), pop in your details and we’ll add you to the list.

Then, around the time of Mobile World Congress (15-18 Feb, Barcelona) our Public Betas will launch and the software will make its way to the respected marketplaces.

 

More to follow…

This blog will be continually updated with more Threemote goodies in the run up to our initial release and beyond.

So, stay tuned …
