We’ve seen Ricavision’s Sideshow Remotes before (and even got hands-on with their previous concept SideShow remote), but this is the first time we’ve fondled the commercial version that’s coming next year.
As a Mac user, the one Windows feature I’m constantly a little jealous of is SideShow. Particularly, I dig devices like this Ricavision VAVE100. At its heart a powerful 20-device, backlit IR universal remote, the VAVE100 also sports a 2.4″ screen SideShow compatible screen with Bluetooth connectivity. So you can have all those SideShow gadgets in what may already be your most used hand held device. More »
Ricavision’s remote is the first to display Vista’s Sideshow interface on its big LCD.
If you haven’t been keeping up, SideShow is a Vista feature that when paired with the right “gadget” gives you the ability to read email, listen to music, or browse through photos from an external screen, like the 2.5 inch QVGA LCD on this remote. The advanced clicker also has the basic IR blaster and Bluetooth.
