Called the pocketBLU, which may now be freely downloaded at the App Store, this application turns your iPhone into a remote control for the Blu Ray player. With this, you can make use of your iPhone to playback, fast forward, search chapters and anything else you would do with a standard clicker.

But this just won’t work for any movies. It has to be specifically from Universal, and it must be a movie with the pocketBLU logo conspicuously displayed on its disc case. The Blu-Ray player must also have its Wi-Fi capabilities enabled.

So, really it’s just an application to control a mechanism, something we think is only interesting…for five minutes. And then it’s pretty much useless. Good thing it’s only free.
