HOT ON STYLELIST HOME:

That iPhone or iPod touch is the coolest and neatest gadget you've seen, right? For owners of one or the other (or oddly, both), the WiFi-ness of having wireless internet access, MP3 and iTunes tracks and other multi-touch goodness at your fingertips probably has you thinking life is good. What if you could turn that button-less gadget into a home automation center with lighting control, security control and more?

Software such as Cinemar's Mainlobby will let the iPhone or iPod Touch's built-in AJAX-compliant web browser to tap into Cinemar's web server (called "MLServer") to control all that home theater gear, lighting and more from that precious, WiFi-equipped iPhone or iPod Touch.

We doubt you'll wall mount your baby on the wall, but making cell calls, browsing the web in its full glory and controlling all that remote-controlled gear in your home from a single touch screen device sounds like a dream come true for those that like devices that can take over tasks from a slew of other devices.
