Read this one hot off the newswire from WES this morning.
Unify4Life has unveiled a new box that will allow you to control your home theatre and media right from your BlackBerry. It basically turns your Berry into a universal remote control. Unify4Life claims that the system will fully manage your home entertainment environment including theatres, radio receivers and TV's...and it can even stream audio from your Berry to amplifiers connected to your system. How cool is that!?
If you want it right now, turns out you'll have to wait a bit. Unify4Life won't be available in stores until October (according to the press release!).

Unify4Life Introduces a Groundbreaking Evolution in “Mobile Universal Control”
Orlando, FL – Wireless Enterprise Symposium – Today, at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium, Unify4LifeTM revealed a groundbreaking lifestyle application that empowers mobile users to fully manage and control their home entertainment environment using BlackBerry® smartphones from Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM). Unify4Life has created a lifestyle application that transforms the BlackBerry® smartphone into the ultimate remote control, advancing current technologies and encompassing an intuitive user interface.
The Unify4Life solution enables BlackBerry smartphone users to fully manage their home entertainment environment, including home theatres, radio receivers, stereo gateways and televisions.
