Interlink Electronics Annouces Two New Remotes for Windows Vista
Sidelink
The Sidelink uses Windows Slideshow and Bluetooth to enable users to operate the Windows Visa media center from anywhere in their home. The remote has a 2.5" color LCD that allows users to navigate through their media Center menu directly from their remote. Another great feature of the Sidelink is that you can, through the menu, select songs, schedule recording, and view video clips and photographs right on the remotes LCD screen. Bill Mitchell, corporate vice president of the Mobile Platforms Division describes Sidelink as " an excellent example of how Windows Slideshow technology enables new benefits for users of Windows Vista. Sidelink and the new Windows Vista Media Center gadgets enable features that users of previous Media Center Editions have requested, but were not possible with a single display." Originally Sideshow was going to be an application to be displayed on a notebook or computer screen, this remote by Interlink allows users to leave their computers behind and operate their entire entertainment system from one remote.
Microsoft-Approved Remote Control For Windows Vista Media Center
The Microsoft-approved Remote Control for Windows Vista Media Center is a 44-button remote control is also designed to work alongside Windows Vista. The remote features a "Windows Media Center Green Button" for one-touch launching of the Windows Media center menus. Interlinks Jim Register said, "Microsoft's new Windows Vista Media Center software application promises to be dominant to be in this space and it's been our pleasure to work with the Windows Media Center and Windows SlideShow teams in the development of these advanced remote interface solutions."
Both remotes are going to initially be available to the companies OEM customer-base and manufacturers and branders before later becoming available to the general public.
