If you dont know by now, we over here at Offshoot are mac obsessed. One of the things we always wished we has was a remote control-type attachemtn for  our iPhone or iPod touch so we could use it as the remote for our home theater systems or the flat screen TV that we lost the actual remote for.



Although Apple doesn't look like it will be building one in anytime soon, the L5 iPhone Remote ($50 USD) is here to fill the void. This miniscule Dock-connecting accessory and companion app let you "build" your own interface using a library of buttons within the app, and then use the on-screen remote to control damn near any product you'd like using nothing but your iPhone or iPod touch.

Brilliant.

Sporting an Apple-like design [which we likey] and gobs of high technology, the Sony Bravia NX800 HDTV ($2,300-$3,500USD; March 2010) is one of the Japanese electronics giant's sexiest yet.

Features include a full HD 1080p, edge LED-backlit LCD screen in either 46-, 52-, or 60-inch sizes, Motionflow 240Hz technology for smooth on-screen motion, integrated Wi-Fi, and ambient light sensor, Sony's Bravia Internet Video and Internet Widgets, the Bravia Engine 3 video processor, and both USB and DLNA support for photos, music, and video playback.
