ESPN The Ultimate Remote

ESPN has some pretty high claims here, calling their new hardware The Ultimate Remote. It features Wi-Fi connectivity to complement advanced home theater control as well as one-touch real-time access to sports, standings, team information and news, so are all those features worth the $300 you’re supposed to fork out for it? This nifty gadget can manage home theater components, set top boxes and IP equipment with intuitive “location-free” setup and one-handed operation – perfect for couch potatoes who need the free hand to feed themselves with slices of pizza, chips and beer. I guess this was released just in time for us kids who have run out of ideas for dad this coming Father’s Day.
