Keyspan's Digital Media Remote Ships

"Keyspan announced it is now shipping its new Digital Media Remote(tm) (DMR), a 'first-of-its-kind' accessory for the new generation of digital-media-ready Windows and Macintosh desktop and portable computers. Keyspan's DMR gives users remote control of their DVD, CD, MP3 and QuickTime Players, as well presentation programs such as PowerPoint. The Digital Media Remote has a suggested retail price of $79. It is available at CompUSA, MicroCenter, and other leading resellers and catalogs nationwide. The Digital Media Remote consists of two components: a 15-key infrared remote and an infrared receiver unit that connects to the USB port on a Windows or Macintosh computer."
