Global Caché has announced a new product line, iTach, including 2 new IR interfaces using either Ethernet or your existing WiFi network to control your home theater equipment.  There will also be a model to remote control serial equipment and relays.  Pricing starts at $139 up to $169, and the products will start shipping by the end of the month.  It's a pretty neat solution, and should be pretty useful until ZigBee RF4CE is widely available.  More information, including a picture and the press release, can be found below.
