Google TV Remote app for iPhone lands in the App Store
Following in the footsteps of Apple's Remote app for the iPhone and Apple TV, Google has released an iOS version of its official Google TV remote app that made its debut for Android back in December last year.
The app functions in exactly the same way as its Android brother, with the same interface, voice search, gestures and a plethora of buttons. In fact, the only thing that stands out as missing on the iOS side is Web page sharing from the iPhone to the Google TV. The app works over Wi-Fi connecting your iPhone to the Google TV through an existing wireless network, and allows you to control pretty much everything your Google-powered set-top box can do.
The app is available free from the iOS App Store, while the Android version is available from the Android Market. Hit the jump for Google's official video guide to the Google TV Remote App if you want to know more.

I'm searching something similar for my Sony kdl46ex710, someone knows if there is something?

I know that this may sound stupid, but not 100% sure on how infra-red works on mobile devices, but is there an app for controlling my TV at home? I know that you can buy universal remote controls from Argos (UK shop) for about £10.00, but technically, couldn't you have the same functions in an app on your mobile that could communicate with my TV and other IR devices. It would be an extremely useful app to have if I could create separate profiles in the app for my bluray and the 3 other different make of TV's in the house.
Does that make sense? If there is such an app, I would love to know.
