Follow Ontarians Unify4Life have officially launched two of their products – one, a software-based home entertainment controller for your BlackBerry that communicates via Bluetooth to a hub called AV|Shadow, had been seen a couple of months ago, but their separate garage door controller dubbed Garage|Shadow is brand-spanking new. I remember when I first saw these guys at WES last spring and knew from the get-go it was going to be huge. Nokia clearly realizes the need for a digitally-controlled home, and the slew of Wi-Fi enabled TVs announced at CES equally support the trend. From what I was able to gather then, they were going to work on a subscription model, which I wasn’t sure was the best way to go, but if they can continually update at a good clip, it might be worth the charges. From the looks of it, only their TV guide portion will be locked in, and you’ll be able to continue to use your BlackBerry as a universal remote control even without the monthly fees. If this sounds like something you’re interested in, keep an eye out for a review here shortly, but if you want to take the dive right away, devices will be ready on February 1st.
