What you can do with the CLIÉ Remote Commander
The CLIÉ Remote Commander is an application you can install on your
CLIÉ handheld to enable the CLIÉ handheld to function as a remote
commander.
A single remote control for multiple devices
You can control a variety of remote-controlled devices (e.g. TV, VCR, DVD
player) with a single CLIÉ handheld, switching among them with a tap on
the quick-start buttons.
Customizable to suit your needs
If the four quick-start buttons are not enough to suit your needs, you can
always set more devices and select them from the Select menu.
You don’t even need to look at the screen...
You can assign operations to the Jog Dial™ navigator or to the application
buttons on the front panel. For example, if you assign “increase volume” of a
certain device to the upward rotation of the Jog Dial navigator, you can
always change the volume of that device in that way without switching the
control screen.
