Sure, those new SideShow-enabled remote controls look pretty cool. But what if you don't want to leave your computer on all the time just so you can do nifty things like check out an electronic program guide on your remote control?The tvCompass remote control includes 802.11b/g, a 2.2-inch QVGA LCD, and a speaker for listening to audio alerts or sound files. You can control multiple devices, and can even receive equipment codes and electronic program guide data over the air. Your data can be backed up to a tvCompass network server.
You can also use the built in WiFi to access games, videos, and web content directly on the remote control.
No info on pricing or availability just yet, but I'd say it'll make the Logitech Harmony remote look cheap.
