Interlink Electronics Introduces Bluetooth Media Remote Control

Interlink Electronics has introduced an ExpressCard sized, Bluetooth Media Remote Control. The remote is the first to combine the wireless freedom of Bluetooth with the convenience of a rechargeable battery in an ExpressCard form factor. It enables notebook users to control entertainment software from the comfort of the couch, even when the couch and computer are in different rooms.

Called ExpressCard Media Remote for Bluetooth, it is designed to be used with Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition, Dell Media Experience and other popular software, including Windows Media Player, Apple iTunes, Real Player, Nullsoft WinAmp, CyberLink PowerDVD and InterVideo WinDVD. The remote uses the ExpressCard slot featured in the new generation of notebook computers for both storage and charging, so it is always available and ready for use.

ExpressCard Media Remote for Bluetooth uses standard media keys to enable channel and volume control, menu navigation, item selection and transport control for DVD/CD, audio and video within popular entertainment software. Bluetooth technology provides up to 30 feet of wireless range. The system requirements for the remote are: a notebook computer equipped with Windows XP Pro, Home or Media Center Edition, an ExpressCard/54 slot for storing and recharging, and a Bluetooth receiver.
