Home Automation specialists Lagotek had been eyeing up the iPod Touch and iPhone as potential touchscreen remote controls, but demanding users Jailbreak their phones to get it working with custom software just wasn’t an option.  Rather than grumble, however, they enlisted the help of Ikanos Consulting to bring Go Gadgets to market: it’s a web-app that makes your Apple PMP compatible with the Microsoft Vista Sideshow gadget Lagotek use to interface with your smart-home.

Go Gadgets sets up as your own Sideshow server, giving access to the macro controls - which Lagotek call HIP Modes - which adjust distributed media, temperature and environment, home security and more directly from Safari on the iPod Touch.  The software is also compatible with Windows Mobile, Windows CE, and J2ME, and allows remote access to Windows SideShow gadgets via WiFi, Bluetooth or GPRS/EDGE/3G.

Lagotek will be showing off their technology at CES 2008, which SlashGear are attending to bring you the latest and greatest in consumer tech - check it out!
