AHANIX iMon Universal IR Remote Control System Review

April 7th 2004 | Peripherals

Considering we can configure this device to work with nearly any application we want, it would be unreasonable for me to tell you that it will be perfect for your needs. I tested the iMon in the applications I will most use it for - Windows Media Player, WinAmp, PowerPoint, and Mozilla. The iMon is a shoe-in for Windows Media Player. The Application control pad lets you play, pause, stop, fast-forward, rewind, resize, and open media in WMP. I didn’t encounter any problems using the iMon with WMP, even from the other end of my room (which is around 30ft. away). The iMon was similarly useful with WinAmp…

… It serves its purpose very well, in fact. Not only is the device comfortable in the hand with a great range (15M), the software is easy to use and configure, appears very stable, and gives you flexibility to customize the iMon to your needs. While I’m not a hardcore HTPC fanatic, I can safely say the iMon is a great piece of hardware. From opening the package to controlling my movies, the iMon was a smooth ride that was both quick and easy. Like any product there is always room for improvement, such as the lack of a physical manual or extensive application-specific software, but overall Ahanix did a respectable job of delivering a quality product.
