More Control, Less Complexity
New Microsoft® Remote Keyboard for Windows XP Media Center Edition enables greater interaction and control of a Media Center PC compared with a regular remote. This three-in-one device, the first of its kind, makes it easy to turn up the volume, type a message, or point and click with the fully integrated remote, keyboard and mouse capabilities — all without ever having to leave the couch.

Remote Keyboard for Windows XP Media Center Edition features a sleek design to match the living room, and its compact size enables it to be easily stowed when not in use to help get rid of clutter. With smart features including a Media Center green button and backlit buttons, this device makes using a Media Center PC easier and more fun than ever.

Cut, Crop, Click
Wireless Optical Desktop 5000 includes a wireless keyboard, mouse and photo-editing software that makes it a snap to access, edit and share digital photos on a PC. The keyboard comes equipped with PhotoCenter, featuring one-touch access to most-used photo-editing functions and Zoom Slider to zoom into and out of photos. The sleek wireless optical mouse is a picture-perfect companion to the keyboard with its new Magnifier tool, which enlarges any section of the screen for easy viewing and editing. With the inclusion of new Digital Image Standard 2006 software, this integrated hardware and software solution delivers all the tools needed to customize photos while reducing the number of editing steps.
The new products introduced today will be widely available by September 2005 for the following estimated retail prices:

• Remote Keyboard for Windows XP Media Center Edition: $104.95 (U.S.)
• Wireless Optical Desktop 5000: $104.95 (U.S.)

Just the return and not the launch? Are they expecting something to happen on the return...?
#1.1 WindowsNT on 13 Jul 2005 - 15:47
yea, that's odd. I would have expected at least the launch
#1.2 Sub on 13 Jul 2005 - 17:23
You guys are reading it wrong. Its the return of our shuttle. Like the return of batman.
#1.3 IGx89 on 13 Jul 2005 - 23:21
That makes more sense, but we were reading it right: they just wrote it wrong .

Capitalise the first letters of your sentences, or don't post here. We do not need people who aren't going to bother to learn the basic rules of the English language.
#8.2 fro0ty on 13 Jul 2005 - 18:38
Ohh no, its the spelling nazi
#8.3 hostility on 13 Jul 2005 - 19:01
TheSarge please do not use contractions. It is considered to be a poor writing technique. If you do not like it, then end your life right now.
