Publisher's description of OmniRemote

OmniRemote is a universal infrared remote control for the Palm OS. It uses infrared light to communicate with TVs, VCRs, and many other devices that use IR. The Palm III has infrared capability built in, but older Pilots will require that an <A HREF=" http://www.pacificneotek.com/">OmniRemote Module</A> (not currently available) be purchased and plugged into the bottom of the PalmPilot. Features include a configurable user interface, the ability to create an unlimited number of buttons and label them with text, and an unlimited number of macros. This updated version works with the infrared on 3Com's Palm OS 3.0 upgrade card. The unregistered evaluation version is restricted to 15 days of use, and only buttons in the TV category will operate. The registration fee is $20. Developer Changes: OmniRemote Universal Learning Remote Control Software features: Support for built in IR and IR cards/modules for all Palm OS devices. Completely configurable UI means you can draw your own buttons wherever you want. Create an unlimited number of buttons. Buttons can be labeled with text and familiar "tape deck style" icons. Learning feature lets you train an unlimited number of remotes. Up to 15 different screens of buttons. An unlimited number of macros let you perform a sequence of actions with a single keypress. 32 timers let you schedule macros for unattended operation. Timers can repeat daily, weekly, every weekday or at specified intervals. Screen can be operated right-side-up or in upside-down "flip screen mode" (sideways on Handspring). Any of the bottom function keys (hard keys)can be re-defined. High resolution screen support. Color display support. Create your own screen backgrounds, buttons or themes. Compatible with all Palm devices.

  "good software but terrible sales/customer support"

  by dlblma on April 10, 2008

  Pros: downloaded and used it for a month and decided to pay w credit card, got the temp user code that works for 1 week but then neither my cc got charged nor a permanent user code sent to me, so now I'm stuck with all my own buttons but cannot use the software,

  anybody knows what happens to Pacific Neo-Tek / Omni Remote?

  thanks

  Cons: downloaded and used it for a month and decided to pay w credit card, got the temp user code that works for 1 week but then neither my cc got charged nor a permanent user code sent to me, so now I'm stuck with all my own buttons but cannot use the software,

  "Very Usefull"

  by jimilee1973 on March 5, 2006

  Pros: It lets me keep an eye on my kid's computers without them knowing. It shows the complete desktop and allows me to take control of their computers if need be.

  Cons: Nothing really. Just read the directions well.

  "Best IR remote I've seen"

  Summary: Doesn't work over that great of a distance with my Clie, but the features and usability is amazing. Definitely worth the $20 if you need several remotes on you at any given time.
