You've always wanted this: a way to turn your sleek, sexy iPhone into a clunky, common device that controls your TV. The L5 universal remote plugs into your iPhone or iPod Touch and lets you program up to 100,000 buttons -- at least several of which trigger the TiVo-ing of any Hall and Oates specials airing on VH1.

The L5 Remote clips into the power jack and has a range of 30 feet. Our burning question: Can you still watch TV on your iPhone while controlling your actual television? And will they make one for the iPhone killer of the new decade, Google's Nexus One?

L5 provides a free iPhone app for the remote; the dongle, however, will cost you $45.
