WALTHAM, MA and RALEIGH, NC -- (Marketwire) -- 06/15/10 -- ThinkFlood (http://thinkflood.com/), maker of RedEye remotes for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, and 21st Century Distributing (http://www.21stcenturydist.com/), the leading AV electronics and custom installation supplier for North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee, today announced a strategic distribution partnership to address consumer and reseller demand for RedEye remotes in the US.

ThinkFlood selected 21st Century Distributing as a regional distributor for RedEye remotes because the company is committed to providing superior customer service, high-quality products, and competitive pricing to all of its installers, integrators and dealers.

RedEye products turn the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad into neworked universal remotes that offer high-end functionality at an affordable price. Using an Apple iDevice instead of a traditional remote, RedEye and RedEye mini users can operate anything controlled by infrared: TVs, DVRs, cable and satellite receivers, DVD and Blu-ray players, game consoles, stereos, and more.

"ThinkFlood's networked universal remotes -- RedEye remotes -- represent a fundamental shift in how we control our home electronics," said Donald Vicini, President of 21st Century Distributing. "We're witnessing a move away from dedicated remote control hardware and a move towards Internet connectivity. This is the future, and we're pleased to share it with our dealers."

"21st Century Distributing has strong, longstanding relationships with dealers and custom installers across the southeast," said Adam Shapiro, ThinkFlood Founder and Vice President of Operations. "We can't wait to show 21st Century's network of dealers and installers how they can expand their customer base by offering truly affordable, high-performance home control."

21st Century Distributing offers products from ACTi, Belkin, BellO, Boston Acoustics, Casa Tools, Chief Mounts, DaLite, Denon, Elan, Energy, HAI, Hitachi, IC Realtime, Jamo, JVC, Leviton, Middle Atlantic, Mirage, Mitsubishi, Monster Cable, Niles, NuVo, Omni Mount, Onkyo, Panasonic, Parasound, Peerless Mounts, Pinnacle Speakers, Sanyo, Sanus, Sennheiser, Sonance, Sunfire, Toshiba, Vudu, Vutec, Xantech, Yamaha, and now RedEye.
