The MP3 accessory producer, Digital Lifestyle Outfitters (DLO), has disclosed its latest iPod accessory, the DLO iDirect Remote Control.

The new two-piece gadget is compatible with all dockable iPods from distance whilst docked and charging or linked up to a home stereo system.

The compact remote control device has buttons for play, pause, skip forward, back and volume control and comes complete with a receiver that connects to the iPod to capture IR remote commands.

“The iPod is not just a portable device for me, it’s an integral part of my entire home entertainment system,” commented Andrew Green, VP of marketing at DLO.

“I come home and push one button that turns my stereo on, turns the volume up and pushes Play on my iPod. That’s only possible with the DLO iDirect iPod Remote Control because it’s IR compatible.

“Other iPod remotes are simply not as flexible as the DLO iDirect,” concluded Mr Green.

The DLO iDirect is priced at around £27 and is available for immediate shipping.
