Apple Patent Details a Touchscreen Universal Remote
Apple's patent applications continue to pile up, and indicate the impending launch of an Apple Television. After filing a patent application about dynamic backlighting of displays a few weeks ago, Apple filed a new application titled "Apparatus and Method to Facilitate Universal Remote Control," which proposes the idea of a minimal, universal remote to control all your (Apple) devices.

kinda neat....nothing too revolutionary though....
-
NICEEE..!!!!looking forward to buy this also.. ;)

Revolutionizing the TV remote.
-
Most things aren't that "revolutionary" until Apple puts their golden fruit style on it and then whatever it is that they decide to be involved in is Revolutionized and Apple struts to the Bank

I like it

I don't understand how apple can patent the concept since Logitech already have touch screen universal remotes but not entitrely button free. Anyway knowing apple they will probably require users to buy device profiles from itunes until someone jailbreaks it ;)
-
But can it blend..?
-
It's the discovery mechanism that is unique and probably the ability to pull templates via XML from the device or Apples servers. This is a neat idea so long as manufacturers take it on board. Whilst Samsung and others may object they will have no choice if the standard takes off!

And for a low low low price of only $350

I hope we will not to have to charge it two times a day!!!

Currently I own the Logitech Harmony One and I LOVE the concept "one remote to rule them all" and this one will Jude that much cooler! I want it, and 350$ is not that bad, I paid like 250$ for the Logitech one and it could use some fixes, not that it does not do what I ask it to do, but it just needs a couple of small changes! :0)
