Nevo SL universal remote:
The Nevo SL remote features a 3.5” LCD display, built-in Wi-Fi, 17 configurable buttons, and a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. The Nevo SL runs on a pocket PC software platform. Oh no, just when you thought remotes couldn’t get anymore complicated, now we have Microsoft in them. I joke but it does bring up some interesting questions, will it need periodic reboots? Where are the ctrl, alt, delete keys?
In all seriousness I think this will be a trend, remotes will become extensions of our homes, and two-way communication is a must. After all, why do you have to be in front of a television to decide what’s on? A Wi-Fi enabled remote could give you complete program listings while you’re multitasking away in some other part of the house. You could even click ‘record’ from the remote and watch it later all without even turning on your main display.

I suppose the Wi-Fi aspect will have an automatic update feature to download citical updates and security patches too :)

Did you here Gates told the GM pres. that if they where 'up' on technoligy, they could produce cars that got 70mpg and still had alot of power?
The GM pres. said " Yes, but, nobody wants a car that 'crashes' twice a day!
All for technoligy. Just make it reliable.

I saw this and am actually excited about a new remote for the first time in awhile. I wish they'd get it out so that I can try it, can think of a lot of things that I might be able to do with it along side my HTPC setup. The WIFI feature opens up some real possiblilites.
I wish that they'd hurry up and release it so we can see some reviews.
