Philips Prestigo SRT9320 color touchscreen remote ready for preorders, shipping someday
Just a bit closer to filling the hole in our lives where a $199 remote should be, the Philips Prestigo SRT9320 universal remote popped up for preorders on Amazon this month, regrettably the ship date is no more specific than "1 or 2 months," but unlike some things, we'll at least have the choice to buy this one. In case you've forgotten, it packs a 2.8-inch color touchscreen and can handle up to 20 devices, programmed directly on the remote itself or learned via IR.[Thanks, Ron]
Philips unveils Prestigo SRT9320 touchscreen universal remote
The last Philips Prestigo universal remote we saw was that gigantic SR-M80145 "tablet," but it looks like the company's toned it down with the sexy new Prestigo SRT9320. The company's new top-of-the-line IR-only clicker has a 2.8-inch color touchscreen and can be programmed to control up to 20 devices entirely from the remote itself without using a PC -- which can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your setup and macro situation. It's all yours for $249 sometime in the first quarter of twenty-oh-nine.[Via Electronista]
Philips' new Prestigo SR-M8015 remote control "tablet"
Have you ever wanted to control things? Lots of things? How about everything? If you've been answering yes while psychotically nodding your head and smiling, you may like to know about the Philips Prestigo SR-M8015, the remote control with the crappy name and totally out-of-control footprint. The new addition to the company's Prestigo line is actually a large "tablet" remote, with a plethora of buttons at your two-handed disposal (including access to 15 separate devices), a color LCD screen in the center, and the totally antiquated / sexist "his and hers" option -- just in case you can't agree on any presets with your spouse / lover / good "buddy." Apparently the finish will go from drab, black plastic, to ultra-sexy chrome with "hot-stamped" detailing. No word on price or availability, but the SR-M8015 is expected in the next few months for around $150.
