Nürnberg/München, November 21, 2007 - IOSPIRIT announces the immediate availability of Remote Buddy remote control software, version 1.8, which now supports infrared remote controls supplied with EyeTV-based television solutions. Users of Elgato's EyeTV software can now use their familiar hardware remote and Remote Buddy to control iTunes, iPhoto, DVD Player, and VLC; watch presentations or videos, browse the hard drive, surf the web, or change system settings. Remote Buddy contains built-in support for over 100 applications and system parameters.

The update is free of charge for existing Remote Buddy users. The full version of Remote Buddy is available for 19.99 Euros (incl. VAT) and a fully functional 30-day trial version is available for download at http://www.iospirit.com/remotebuddy/
