Keyspan
updates its new iPod accessory, TuneView, a powerful wireless remote
that lets you browse and fully control your Apple iPod. Added
features include faster scrolling, ability to search titles by
first-letter and improved wake-from-sleep performance
|
Keyspan announced that updated
firmware is now available for its “TuneView for iPod,” a powerful
remote with color LCD screen and 2-way RF connectivity that allows
you to browse and manage an iPod® throughout your house or
office.
"Users
have been telling us how much they appreciate TuneView,” explained
Ridenhour, president of Keyspan. "They have also contributed a
variety of ideas for making TuneView even more useful."
The
update increases scrolling
speed, adds an ability to jump to a specified first letter within a
large list (e.g. in a collection of 8,000 songs jump directly to
those starting with "L"), and improves overall
wake-from-sleep performance.
“Unlike
other iPod remotes, TuneView can be updated by connecting it to the
USB port on a PC or Mac and loading new firmware onto the remote,”
explained Keyspan president Mike Ridenhour. "This
provides a way to easily add new functionality to the remote.”
Released
in December, Keyspan’s TuneView for iPod consists of a dock that
connects an iPod to a stereo and/or TV, and an RF remote with color
LCD that allows you to browse and manage iPod music and videos
throughout your house. Additionally,
the TuneView Dock can be used to sync an iPod with iTunes®
running on a PC or Mac, and TuneView supports English, German,
French, and Spanish.
"There's
more to come", noted Ridenhour. "We'll continue to enhance
TuneView hardware and firmware to deliver a best-in-class remote
control for iPod, iTunes and more."
With
an MSRP of just $179, TuneView is available from the Keyspan store,
Amazon.com, PC Connection, TigerDirect, Buy.com, MicroCenter and
other leading computer products resellers. TuneView is available to
US resellers via Ingram Micro, D&H and Wynit.
