New EL Touchscreen Remote Control
raminf writes "Stumbled across the Kameleon -- a new remote control device from Univeral Electronics. The interface is a blank electro-luminescent touch-screen. The 'buttons' are animated graphics drawn to match any device you choose . You can update new device interfaces via a modem (specs aren't clear how exactly). You can also define 'macro' buttons to do multiple tasks with one button. Apparently it also has a built-in motion-sensor and turns itself on when you pick it up. You can't buy it directly in the U.S. yet. Here's a British web-site that carries it and has some specs and a picture. Here's the company press release. RadioShack has announced they'll be carrying it retail pretty soon."

Honey, I shrunk the Cygwin
Does it run on OS? In sure it'll be terrible when someone calls from the Living Room...
"Honey, the remote Blue Screened again..."
What do you call a person who doesn't want to have to *look* at the remote?
