Key an now shi ing TuneView iPod remote

Key an a ounced today that they have started shi ing the TuneView for iPod remote control, which features a color LCD screen and utilizes 2-way RF co ectivity.

Key an calls it the "Ultimate Remote Control for iPod," and it does have a few unique features that set it apart from the crowd. The remote, which is powered by two AA batteries, uses a 2.4 Ghz radio signal that works through walls and has ten keys and a color LCD to remotely view the contents of your iPod as well as control playback features. The TuneView shi with a universal dock, dock i erts to accommodate different sized iPods (4G and 5G iPods with dock co ectors), a U power cable for charging via an AC outlet, and audio cables for co ecting to stereos or powered eakers. You can co ect the dock to your TV using the S-video jack, although you'll need to su ly your own cable for that. < an cla ="bodytext">Naturally, you can co ect the dock your your Mac or PC and use it to sync with iTunes as well. Even better - the TuneView dock and TuneView remote both have upgradeable firmware, just like the iPod, so additional features can be added later on with a simple (one hopes) download.

Although the $179 USD price tag is a bit steep, the TuneView sounds like it might be worth the price. If you pick one up, let us know how you like it!
