Could this be the coolest remote control yet?
With the ability to control Windows Vista Media center from its own built in 2.4" screen, it sure is a front runner on my shopping list.
The shipping date "was" on or before February 28th, 2008, but has now recently changed to "Summer 2008"
You can pre-order it here for $349 and get it sometime this year perhaps...?
