According to engadget this remote will be out by the end of the year for Cable STB’s. I’m hoping they make the remote usable as an IR blaster with BT. Looks really similar to boxee’s remote too.
yea I saw that one too, looked nice. It seems the more internet connected TV’s that come out the better the remotes get. I’m sure as soon as we see more browsers embedded the remotes designs will be similar to these.

That would be nice, but I seriously doubt we’ll see it used anywhere very quickly. Motorola keeps making really great strides in advancing the cable platform that it demonstrates at trade shows and no one seem to adopt quickly (if at all) 🙁
Because Motorola’s customer is the Cable Co. And the Cable Co does not see the value proposition in it. If they, the Cable Co, can’t increase rates or charge an extra line item on your bill for it then why would they bother to adopt it.
