Roccat Power Grid -Alternative to the Switchblade UI

Hey everyone, I just saw this and figured I would share.

Roccat is releasing the Power Grid, which is a software app on your phone that uses your existing WLAN network to connect to your PC, or you can be plugged in to either a special Roccat dock(Apuri $40) or a keyboard (Phobos $130). They have a beta starting for iPhone users, and Android version will be coming soon. Best of all it is FREE (for the most part). If you want to add additional pages it will be $.99 per page, but you can change the first custom grid as much as you want. I am really excited for this, besides the ability to map quick buttons and macros to your phone. You can also: display your PC stats, check Twitter, Facebook, and other social sites. + many more features. I just hope that the dock can accommodate my T-989 with it's 4.53 " screen and Galaxy Note users with their 5.53" screens. It is still in Beta though so I am sure there are some bugs to be worked out, and there is the obvious lack of tactile feedback. Do any of you iPhone/iPod Touch users care to give this a try?

EDIT: Apparently it will work without the Apuri or Phobos.

That is sick!! Thanks for the headsup.

 

No one with an iPhone has tried this?

 

Hey, I was also interested, I applied for the beta on thursday, but I ''only'' have a first generation ipad, (but all iphone apps work on the ipad, just with some ty graphics) still hoping to get a try.

 

Really neat but just cant see it being too useful.

I'd enjoy using it on a much larger device like my touchpad, especially with the wireless charger I have that works as a dock it sits right infront of my monitor.

Id use it more for display & neat factor than actually using it for hotkeys and things.

 

I think it will work... I hope you get in too, please keep me posted when you try it out.
