iPhone lockbox app on the way

Joe:

You are correct, you will still need the e-fobe(ekey) to convert the bluetooth signal into infrared since only infrared signal will open the current Supra ekeys. So this mean you will need to carry 2 devices (same as people do now that have blackberries).

Infrared technology is old and most new phones do not have infrared ports anymore so the solutionto this is to get Supra to design an ekey that accepts bluetooth signals.

I'll believe this once someone from GE securities posts it here.  ;) 

Greg R.....  Just in case your reading this.  I'm VERY willling to be a beta tester if you need one. 

sapoWell everyone, it's been a month.

Does anyone know of any news in the iphone app to open lock boxes category? 

Does anyone have an update on an Iphone app to use it as an ekey on GE Supra Lockboxes?  I have called GE Supra and the only comment they had is that their engineers are working with Apple engineers to determine if their software will work.  Not sure how it can work with Blackberry but not the Iphone.  I know that Apple resisted allowing third parties access to the bluetooth function on the Iphone, but that appears to have been resolved.  Not sure why it is so difficult to use similare technology to the Blackberry for the Iphone.  Any update???

I can't wait any longer. Hopefully they will have an Supra app soon for the Iphone.

Still not Supra on the iPhone (it's May 2010). What a misleading article. So much for being "all but assured by a GE rep" ... wow.

Besides that this newer eKey revision (when they went to the fatter white one a few years back instead of the small black one) has been NOTHING but a headache. It's the worst Supra e-key device they've ever made. The shelf life on the battery is literally like a day or two tops. The thing is terrible. I've had the old one on my Palm Pilot before it went kaput, have the blackberry fob, the smaller beeper sized e-key and the large fat white one, I can say with 100 certainty the only useful thing about this new fat key is the flashlight. I'd rather just update it myself over the phone rather than have to carry something that big with me at all times to pop lock boxes. In fact, in my office three associates have discontinued use of the GE Supra key and lock boxes because of the exorbinant fees and the new key. It's pretty bad when Realtors would rather use traditional coded punch boxes over Supra keys (if for nothing else the data mining so sellers know you are getting activity) because the key is that much of a hassle. Regardless of what anyone from GE or this social network says I'll believe there is an iPhone app when I'm popping lock boxes with it. Other than that, it's all just noise.

I received an email from NewsGeni.us eBrief with the following claim that eKey is finally coming to IPhone.
