MacCentral: MWSF: Griffin intros AirClick remote for iPod, Mac

MacCentral: MWSF: Griffin intros AirClick remote for iPod, Mac: "Griffin Technology Inc. on Tuesday announced the AirClick, a remote control compatible with all dock connector iPods, including the iPod mini and the iPod photo. AirClick is also available in a USB version that works with a Mac or PC. It uses RF technology instead of infrared, which enables to work from up to 60 feet away, even when the target isn't in the line of sight or is behind a wall."



NOTE: The Mac Mini PVR. Makes a lot of sense. TIVO has got to be concerned and MSFT is in for another major battle with Apple - this time in the living room - where Apple actually started with the Apple II. The Home Computer shipped with a video out port, but most users 25 years ago bought a $19.95 RF mod so they could use their TV as a monitor. It is to bad that the Mac Mini ships with an out-of-date video graphics card and only 32meg of video ram. Oh, well. Mac Mini II "The Gamer Machine" is probably waiting in the wings.
