X10 Launch New RF Remote for Windows Media Centre

Here’s an interesting Windows XP MCE remote from X10. Available in 2 designs, the unit is RF rather than the normal IR. As well as getting 10 metres or more range, without the requirement for line of site, this unit also removes the need for the big ugly IR receiver that’s currently required with the Microsoft remote.
