iRFR with EOS / ION

Now that I've got iRFR installed on my iPhone I have 2 suggestions. 

First would be the ability for multiple configurations, so I don't have to change the ip, and password when I move between rooms (ION in one, EOS in the other).

Second is to add the appropriate drivers to the EOS & ION to allow iPhone / iPod Touch charging via the on console USB ports.

    We have had many requests for multiple profiles, so I think that will be a must for the next version.

    I'm not exactly sure why an iPhone/iPod will not charge from a console's USB port.  Any iPhone/iPod drivers definitely would not be pre-installed on the console operating system.  I am wondering if power to USB ports is disabled when drivers for the attached device are not present...?  We are looking into this...

    Okay... the console supplies only 100mA of power to an unrecognized USB device (such as an iPhone or iPod)  If the drivers were installed, they would instruct the operating system to increase the power to the desired level. (500mA are required to charge an iPhone or iPod)  We will not be installing the Apple Mobile Device Drivers on the consoles at this time, because we want to keep the operating system as clean and efficient as possible.

    Apple does sell a small, portable wall charger for the iPhone and iPod, which is what I use personally:

    I have been buying these:

    For $3 each, and scattering them around the theatres for all the iPhone users.  A few in the booths, a few in the shops, a bunch in the offices...

    I don't know how other people feel about this, but my experience has been that with the virtual wheels it's sometimes difficult to go up or down just one "click"  

    It would be nice if there were an option to change the function of the wheel so that touching the top half of the wheel goes up a click and the bottom half goes down a click.

    Maybe I'm the only one who has this problem?

    Hi Byran,

    Yeah, we experimented with exactly what you suggest:  a single click above or below the center of the wheel resulted in one click in the appropriate direction, and a double-click pushed the wheel in or out.  The problem was that no one could easily figure out how to press in the wheel.  Maybe we could just add single step arrow keys above and below the wheels in the narrow view...?
