eHomeUpgrade picks up this intriguing press release for a new Pocket PC program called Niveus Pocket Remote.
The Niveus software enables the Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC to communicate wirelessly with any Media Center PC, allowing users to control their Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005-based PC from the palm of their hand, and any location in their home. By tapping the full-color LCD screen of the Pocket PC, users gain full control over their digital music collection, Internet radio, and more.
The Niveus Pocket Remote is the ideal solution for controlling multiple audio zones in the home. With support for an unlimited number of zones, the Niveus Pocket Remote software uses UPnP™ specifications and your wireless home network to discover and control the appropriate zone and corresponding media center pc. Once a connection is established, the user can view their entire music collection, including album art, and make selections of their favorite songs, playlists, and Internet radio stations.
This is tempting. You also get a license to use this software if you buy a Niveus Media Center PC. Of course, since those admittedly gorgeous devices start at $2,999 and top out at well over $5,000, you might think twice before plunking down for one.
What I want to know is: Will this run on my Smartphone?
