Keyspan offers RF remote for Front Row

Keyspan today announced its new "RF Remote for Front Row," a sleek and powerful RF remote control designed specifically for use with Apple's Front Row multimedia software. It uses a radio frequency (RF) signal that works through walls and furniture, which it says "provides greater flexibility in locating the Macintosh and video display that are used to display Front Row." In addition, RF is more convenient than infrared remotes that require line of sight to the Mac. The remote delivers a range of 60 feet or more (twice the distance of infrared remotes) and features a set of 9 buttons which allow a user to control Front Row software, eject a CD or DVD, put the Mac to sleep and wake it up. It will ship this week with a suggested price of $40.

Great! Yet another bloody RF dongle to plug up the less than adequate number of USB sockets on a G5! What's wrong with bluetooth FCOL?

Bluetooth is out because of the limited number of people who have bluetooth installed. They don't want to limit their sales (because, you know, they're really selling this to all those non-iSight iMac owners who've installed a hacked version of FrontRow on their machines).
