Contest #11 – Amulet Devices Voice Remote Control
THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED! THANKS TO ALL!
Congratulations to sturner151 who was selected as the winner of the Arcsoft Total Media Theatre Platinum!
The prizes will keep coming and continue to get better believe it or not. For our 11th giveaway, we have courtesy of the fine folks at Amulet Devices, their Voice Enabled Remote Control for Windows Media Center!
With an MSRP of $199 (formerly $249) and continuing to have their software improved, Amulet Devices have developed the best way to control your Windows Media Center HTPC–simply pick up the remote, speak the command and voila!
We took an in-depth look at the Amulet Devices Remote Control and really loved how easy it was to use.
In exchange of extreme universal devices functionality and a touch screen Amulet provide you instead with voice controls to help you navigate–basically what touch screen buttons would do anyways. The big key here is whether the programmable buttons on the Amulet device are sufficient for your needs. In my case my setup was simple–a TV, AVR, HTPC and Xbox360…the Amulet will more than satisfy the universal needs while also providing me the ever crowd pleasing voice commands. Honestly, I could even see music aficionado opting to own both a universal remote like the Harmony and purchasing the Amulet if only for its dominance with managing music libraries.
