Fred Wilson’s post about the iPhone remote for Boxee inspired me.

What if there was an iPhone app, where you could easily create a universal remote, with all your preferences (favorite channels etc.) easily programmed by a drag and drop interface.

Universal remotes I’ve used in the past are hard to program, and generally don’t work very well…

There would then be a wifi-enabled device in your cabinet, which converts your iPhone commands to infrared, to control all your hardware!
