Anyone had hands on with one of these yet?

"From movies to TV shows, from music services to radio stations, it’s all there at a click of a mouse.

But try to access it from your TV using an HTPC and you’ll discover that you need to balance a whole office on your knees...from a full keyboard to a mouse and a pad. And if you use a universal remote, you'll discover that two-axis movement is not enough to navigate today's websites. The experience becomes cumbersome, even frustrating.

That’s where GlideTV Navigator comes in...it combines the functionality of a keyboard, mouse and AV remote in an elegant device that fits the palm of your hand.

GlideTV is the easiest way to surf the net from your TV...head-up and leaning-back


• Clickable touchpad mapped to your TV screen - precise cursor control, one-thumb scrolling, single and double-click selection.


• Backlit AV buttons to control volume and playback.


• Directional buttons for easy two-axis navigation.


• Dedicated Esc, Enter, Back, and Function keys to control applications.


• On-screen keyboard. (Windows only)


• Integrated search menu with links to
Google,Amazon Video on Demand, Hulu, Netflix, YouTube and more. (Windows only)


• Rechargeable battery."

Looks nice but at $150 I think I'll pass.
