Ricavision and Microsoft have a close kinship ( the latter used the former ’s Media Center computers right smart back years ago to do one of the first demos ) , which explains why they ’re both sticking it out with the SideShow technology . The VAVE100 remote control , however , is both coolheaded and confused .
The remote ’s targeted toward power users with the Windows SideShow social function . If you ’ve get a Vista MCE motorcar , you’re able to stream Windows Gadgets to any SideShow twist that will essentially give you a small screen to interpret / interact with Windows single-valued function wirelessly . This is cool , and puzzle out middling well on the remote . Where it starts to get blurred is the world-wide remote side of the upshot .
Instead of make it just a SideShow remote that controls a Windows MCE motorcar , they made it a universal remote that ’s to take on universals like the Logitech Harmony line . The trouble is that the VAVE100 is n’t programmable via the PC , which have in mind you’re able to only set up gadget on the distant itself .
It ’s majuscule in possibility , but the fact that it ’s not that strong of a universal remote control makes it a gadget that ’s only great if you really like Vista SideShow . Ricavision ’s getting FCC approval now and will transport it when quick . [ Ricavision ]
