CES 2007: Interlink’s Windows SideShow Remote
Interlink Electronics showed off their prototype Windows Vista SideShow remote, which allows you to browse your playlist, check your email, change songs or view your Media Center TV guide from the remote itself, without disturbing the regular TV playback of the host box itself. The remote had a very nice, full-color screen and a lithium-ion battery that could charge over USB. It wasn’t as ergonomic as, say, a TiVo peanut, but it wasn’t terrible. It connects over Bluetooth, and they managed to drain its battery through 3.5 solid hours of use, which we’d think defies a normal usage profile for a remote. It’s coming Q2 2007 and should retail for under $200.
