Kaleidescape joins the iPhone as a remote party

It is only a matter of time before every single company in the world makes some kind of iPhone/iPod Touch app and if you make home theater gear that mean it is a remote. Remotescape for the Kaleidescape is the latest addition and from the looks of the Youtube video embedded after the break, it is a pretty slick mix of gestures and cover art goodness. The bad news of course is that the graphics in the interface are on par with the rest of Kaleidescape's products and the price tag is $69 -- but if you dropped the $50k on the Kaleidescape media server, then you probably think that is cheap for a iPhone app.

Interesting. Pretty impressive.

This is not made by Kaleidescape. It is made by another company comprised of former Kaleidescape employees. Also, where are the legions of people saying the Kaleidescape is a total ripoff and ridiculously overpriced? I was all prepared to bust out with my usual defense only to find no one is complaining....

To add to aediles correction: this app isn't new either. You also don't have to worry about snide remarks from commenters, engadget did their own kscape bashing.

As Aedile says, this product is actually made by Remotescape (http://www.remotescape.com/), which is a separate company from Kaleidescape.
