One Killer Remote

from channel 10:

Although not shipping until February 29th, the VAVE100 Universal Remote Control with Windows Vista SideShow Technology is available for pre-order now. Providing you the ability to control 20 different entertainment devices from 50+ feet away, the VAVE100 is the only remote you will need. With one touch of the remote’s green Media Center button on its backlit keypad, you can instantly activate Vista’s Windows Media Center to play music, TV, movies, or view photos. And with its built-in database of over 1500 brand names and GUI setup, adding other devices to the remote is easy.

The remote’s 2.4-inch color LCD screen features SideShow technology where you can view headline news, weather, email, pictures from your computer, as well as play your music, get movie info, and much more. SideShow gadgets running on your Vista PC can also be accessed and played by the remote. The VAVE100 is upgradeable through built-in mini USB, comes with a docking station, a Bluetooth transceiver, and a power charger.
