tvCompass is mostly known for their innovative and unique remote controls. This new one, is arguably the most unique so far. Televisions and HDTV’s have become very popular in the past few years and remote controls have struggled to keep up, but this is one that is sure to keep you on top of things, as one of its main features is Wi-Fi, yes that’s right Wi-Fi. When I saw this, I was thinking why would anyone need Wi-Fi on their remote, and I’m still wondering that.

Anyway, you can browse the web while watching TV on it’s 2.2-inch cell phone-like LCD screen. The SR 1500 Digital Media Remote can control up to 24 electronic devices, “hot keys” for real-time information updates. It even boasts a built-in speaker “to hear alerts and play back digital audio.” One more thing to make the Wi-Fi easy for you, is that it comes with a locater so you can walk around trying to find the best Wi-Fi signal. Naturally, this remote probably appeals to many people, except no word on pricing or availability at this time.
