Bluetooth remote lets you control notebook from afar

Interlink Electronics has come up with a tiny little device for work and play.

The Bluetooth Media Remote Control is the size of a PC Express Card and uses--you guessed it--Bluetooth technology to control entertainment software on a notebook PC. If you use a notebook to watch movies, listen to music, or display digital photo slide shows, this remote lets you control all of that from a distance of up to 30 feet, as long as you're running Windows XP Media Center Edition or Dell Media Experience, and software such as Windows Media Player, Apple iTunes and Real Player.

Interlink also points out that the tiny remote can be a handy accessory when giving a PowerPoint presentation. The remote controls channels, volume, menu navigation and item selection, and when not in use can be stored and charged in the Express Card slot.

The remote can be purchased online through the Interlink and Dell Web sites for about $50.
