The iPod Is The Remote (Or Should Be)

The iPod Is The Remote (Or Should Be) 07/19/2004 08:14 PM

stevenberlinjohnson.com

July 19, 2004

I'm a little disappointed with the new iPods, currently gracing the cover of this week's Newsweek. Not because they'll do anything to interrupt Apple's brilliant financial roll, but because they don't really solve any problems that I'm currently looking to have solved. My two AirPort Express units arrived a few days ago, and so I've been tinkering with a true wi-fi audio network in my house for the first time. Part of that experience has been amazing: I've got digital optical line-ins delivering music to my living room speakers from the G5 upstairs in the study. For the first time, I can think about a single hard drive holding my entire music collection, and serving songs out to whatever speakers in the house need them. (Until now I've been shuffling songs on and off the iPod, and then hooking it up to the stereo manually.) So that much is fabulous. The problem is -- as others have noted, including some Apple execs themselves -- I don't have a remote. I'm downstairs in the living room listening to music streamed from the upstairs computer, which sounds cool on paper, but then you actually sit down to listen and realize you have to walk up the stairs to press pause, much less change the music.

Given that this iPod announcement was coming right on the heels of the Airport Extremes shipping, I was hoping that the new models might address the issue. Because what I need now in my iPod is not more storage space, or Mini-style color designs -- what I need is wi-fi. I want my iPod to double as an audio remote control when I'm sitting in my living room. I want to be able to call up any song on any computer in home network, and direct it to any set of speakers, right from the iPod scrollwheel. If the song's stored on the iPod itself, fine. But I should also be able to co-ordinate the transfer of songs from the upstairs G5 to the downstairs Airport Express from the iPod as well.

Yes, it would cost more money to integrate wi-fi into the iPod, and cut down battery life as well. But I'd happily pay a premium to have one small device that could control the entire music network, and battery life doesn't matter so much if the unit is just triggering the transfer of files from one wi-fi client to another, and not participating the transfer itself. Like many people, apparently, my wife and I have already decided that it makes economic sense to have a regular iPod for normal music listening, and a mini for super-mobile music settings (jogging mostly.) I can easily imagine making the decision to add a third iPod to the mix: the home audio remote -- short on storage and battery life, but long on wi-fi. (And yes, I'm aware that there are several third-party products that can do variations of this already.)

And of course, anyone who buys one of these wi-fi iPods will inevitably end up shelling out the cash to buy at least one Airport Express unit, for the sheer giddy pleasure of whipping out your iPod in the kitchen and putting a song on the upstairs stereo. Most of these people will be Windows users, of course. At that point, they'll have their music software built by Apple, their wireless network built by Apple, and their portable music device built by Apple. How much more do you need before you start thinking about having your operating system built by Apple as well?

Poultry Internet!? YES! Though poultry have been known to have high levels of cognition and feeling many of us with busy lifestyles have a hard time fulfilling their needs. And some poor souls can't even be near poultry as a result of allergies. What to do? Why not a cybernetics system allowing for network-enabled remote haptic stimulation and feedback of poultry? Confused? Well, there's "The Office System where user fondles with the doll." and then that hooks up to "The pet (rooster) with pet dress." hopefully recapturing "our sense of togetherness with our animal friends, just like times gone by on the prairie, village, or jungle.". A bit of oddity brought to you by the Singapore Mixed-Reality Lab, who actually do a lot of cool stuff like AR human pacman; and they've got the videos to prove it.

Using Remote Assistance

"Remote Assistance provides a way for you to get the help you need when you run into problems with your computer. If you're an experienced user, you can even be the one to use Remote Assistance to directly help your friends and family members."

This isn't new (well, it's as new as XP), but I just used it for the first time, and it's very, very handy. I sent my sister (who lives in Austin) a computer, but she's new to it all. Now, instead of blindly walking her through something, I can get on and show her or watch her. Pretty slick.

Well, we've had the TiVo for a bit shy of a month now, and although the number of shows that we've watched has increased, the amount of time spent in front of the b00b t00b hasn't increased all that much.

The Battle for the remote....

The Battle for the remote.... 05/10/2004 04:26 AM

THis is one of the interesting battlefields.  What world will win the remote?

Interactive TV based?

Extension to PC in your hand?

Some other fangled PVR based system?

No one knows?

Here's another entrant.

Remote: Mouse of the Digital Lifestyle?.

A few months ago, while working on a cover story for Business 2.0 (read: Do this Get Rich), I proposed an idea that a remote control type device that solved the complexity issues in the digital lifestyles was going to be a slam dunk. This was my elevator pitch for what I called, D-Mote:

As our homes fill up with all sorts of new digital electronics, PCs, PDA’s, Wi-Fi routers, home networking equipment, flat screens, and IP-based phones, consumers will have a harder and harder time connecting them all together.Most of us are still struggling with all of these gadgets. We are not ready for the converged lifestyle.That is why we need the d-mote.This is a digital remote that can automatically find and configure all the networked devices in your home.Think of it as a home entertainment network administrator for dummies.

It is a device with buttons and a small screen like on a PDA, along with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.What makes it so useful is that it has smart software that can help configure and manage all these devices easily, and upgrades itself automatically over the Internet as new devices and networking standards become available. The D-mote can tell users what music, movies, or data is where on which device. This will mostly be a software play, but initially will be sold as a device that will run on either a Palm or PocketPC OS and support a whole bunch of networking protocols. When a new device is brought into the home, the D-mote connects to it and configures it to work with the existing network.Well obviously the venture capitalists did not care much about the idea. Here is what they had to say.

D-Mote This startup would have developed a remote control that would automatically find and configure all the networked devices in your home, as well as manage all the digital content. Only the name was on target; the VCs demoted this clunker to the bottom of the heap. The fatal flaw? Giants like Microsoft, Sony, and others are already working on their own solutions for the problem. “Why won’t it be in Windows?” Storm Ventures’s Sanjay Subhedar asked with a chuckle.

Others were not as kind. Stewart Alsop, New Enterprise Associates quipped, “I highly recommend you guys stay editors. This territory is hard for startups, because you need a lot of capital to survive, and getting a lot of capital is difficult. Moreover even big companies have a tough time getting remotes to work.” Well with the heavyweights dismissing it, I was just a tad discouraged, and forgot about it, since more pressing issues were on hand. But this past week, the idea began to haunt me again, courtesy of some executives from Logitech, the PC peripheral maker.

Last week, the company spent $29 million in cash to buy out Intrigue Technologies, makers of Harmony Remote. Harmony Remote is a remote control that can be updated and used for controlling many devices - thanks to a CDDB type database that stores instructions for thousands of devices. Users can easily download these instructions from the Internet (Sort of like getting CD track information from Gracenote database!) and update the remote using a USB connection on a computer.

When asked why the company spent so much cash, David Henry, Logitech senior vice president of the Control Devices Business Unit said, “We believe that the advanced remote control will establish itself as ‘the mouse of the digital house’ and that Logitech is uniquely positioned to do for the emerging digital devices in the living room what it has already done for the PC.” The analysts have also chimed in.

“The market for convergence and advanced entertainment remote controls that provide simple solutions for using today’s complex entertainment systems will grow as consumers become aware of them,” said Tricia Parks, president of market research firm Parks Associates. “Our early estimates indicate that the worldwide market for these types of remote controls will be approximately $500 million in 2004, with annual future growth in double digits.”

“The category of advanced remote controls is in its infancy,” said Bob O’Donnell, senior industry analyst for IDC. “There is potential to completely transform this category and accelerate its growth, when you combine the convergence of the PC and consumer electronics with innovative new concepts and designs.”

But it was what Bryan Mcleod, chief executive officer of Intrigue, said that has me convinced that this is going to be a big opportunity. He said, that the company could in the future support any wireless communications standard - Radio frequency, WiFi and Bluetooth - and enhance the functionality of the remotes. In his mind, the remote ideally should be “activity based.” For instance today Harmony when told to “play movie” can dim lights of the room, turn on the DVD/home theater system, and television and basically create a whole environment.

While watching American Wedding, the phone rings, and you hit pause, the lights go up, the system idles and the movie experience pauses for a minute. This is brilliant. I think what is more brilliant is that companies like Intrigue realize that it is good to give power to the people. A smart user knows more about devices he loves and uses.The next step could be downloading the instructions from the internet for say a Roku Soundbridge, a Microsoft Media Center (Shudder!) and other motley crew of devices. I think given Mcleod’s ideas, my dumb ass pitch for a D-Mote doesn’t sound so stupid after all.
