AMEX offers up RM-mp1 media center remote

by Darren Murph, posted May 23rd 2008 at 8:23AM

Though we'd certainly like to see a few hands-on shots of this beauty just to quiet that annoying doubter in the rear of our mind that this is merely a concept, AMEX's RM-mp1 is reportedly the real deal. Said remote features wireless USB, support for Windows Media Center, a built-in touchpad / laser pointer and a black or white motif. Beyond that, details are admittedly scant, but we'll certainly be crossing our fingers that this mystical device crosses the waters to America in short order.

This is one area of home theater/electronics I have been so disappointed with. Remote controls are so poorly designed for usability. They're great at designing "pretty" remotes but nobody thinks about function. Touchscreen is so "ooh ahh" but who the hell wants to have to LOOK at their remote to use it? This thing doesn't even have up/down/left/right arrows all within a thumb's reach. No guide/menu buttons for watching TV?? Yet another remote to add to the pile of useless, pretty, expensive remotes.
