Lose your TV remote? Use a Samsung app on your Galaxy phone or Tab

Who needs a TV remote when you have a smartphone or tablet? 

Samsung has released an app to the Android Market that turns your Android-powered Samsung smartphone (OS 2.1 or up) or Galaxy Tab tablet into a digital remote--so long as you use it with a compatible TV.

The Samsung TV Remote uses Wi-Fi to form a connection with the TV. A QWERTY keyboard, numbers, and directional arrows do the rest of the work. 

The free remote app works with Samsung LED C6500 series and higher, the Samsung LCD C650 series and higher, and the Samsung Plasma C6500 series and higher. It will also work with some "smart TVs" from Sammy's 2011 lineup.
