New iPod, iTunes remote showcases color screen

Keyspan on announced its new TuneView Remote, a wireless remote control for iTunes and iPod that features its own color LCD screen.
This new tech toy works with either the Tuneview Dock for iPod, or a USB adapter that connects directly to your Mac or PC.
The radio frequency (RF)-based remote lets you play, pause, adjust volume and change tracks, but the built-in LCD screen also lets you see the contents of your iPod or iTunes and promises to open the door for even more adapted view concepts.
The only problem with this new remote with a view is that the dock is coming in May, after the remote hits the streets while the USB adapter will be ready this summer, so right now your remote, although available, will not do you much good for a few months.
The USB adapter works in conjunction with iTunes and Keyspan’s own Mac OS X or Windows software. The TuneView Dock sports a universal dock connector that supports any iPod with a dock connector, including the iPod nano and the iPod mini.
The dock also includes a USB power adapter, USB cable, audio cable and three dock adapters. The remote costs $99 but I would not get too excited before we get to see what types of bugs will have to be worked out.
