Bluetooth EC remote ships


Interlink Electronics today introduced its Bluetooth Media Remote Control, the world's first remote using the notebook Express Card (EC) slot and Bluetooth wireless technology. The Express Card Media Remote for Bluetooth drives Apple's iTunes, Microsoft Media Center, Windows Media Player, and more out of the box. Notebook users can control entertainment software wirelessly from anywhere in the home, and the remote uses the Express Card slot featured in Apple's new portable notebooks. The remote uses standard media keys to enable channel and volume control, menu navigation, item selection as well as transport control for DVD/CD, audio, and video with most entertainment software. Express Card Media Remote for Bluetooth is available online and will ship later this year through resellers for $50.

    hello?

    I thought this was a Mac site? And you are saying this will fit in a MacBook Pro? Gosh. Do your homework.

    hello?

    Not for Mac OS X. And its a 54 card, so it won't fit in the macbook's expresscard slot.

    But beyond that, its great!

    The way I understand it, it communicates via bluetooth, but plugs into the card slot to recharge the battery. So its both!

    Actually, if you use a Mac, its neither. 1) Wont work. 2) Wont fit.

    This news item is kinda useless.
