Folks at Logitech must be shifting uncomfortably in their seats as they lay eyes on the WiFi Smart Remote from tvCompass. This unique remote control comes with a generous 2.2" QVGA LCD display and the ability to download information off the Internet via WiFi connectivity, including electronic program guides, games, videos, messaging, and miscellanous web content. The menu offers a user interface that is not very different from a standard cellphone-style navigation, with hot keys available to help you along. The built-in speaker enables you to hear alerts and playback digital audio files, while a self-learning algorithm enables it to pick up your nuances after a while. With support for more than two dozen home theater devices, the WiFi Smart Remote ought to come with a handsome price tag.
