By Steve Crowe
Savant's Touch Remote features an embedded iPod touch that controls any device connected to Savant's platform.

Savant's new Touch Remote features an embedded iPod touch and can be used for VoIP phone calls thanks to Savant's iPBX technology.



Savant has, essentially, turned the iPod touch into a whole-home remote control that has both pushbuttons and a touch interface to control lighting, home theater, automation, media, security, network cameras, climate control - any device connected to Savant's control platform.
