    Also, as a little surprise, Ryz Media, maker of the popular My TV Remote app that turns the iPhone into a super powerful remote control, introduced a new colorful orb hardware design that plugs into the iPhone headset jack, allowing control of almost every entertainment device in the house. These four colorful new options improve function, as well as form, with an updated IR transceiver. The app includes a complete program guide for every zip code in the U.S., displays the most popular shows on TV, and also connects TV fans with others who are watching. Our own MobileCrunch raved about it last year.

    They have offered to give 250 of these away for free. The first 250 people who email here will win. A picture of the new design is below.
