One For All debuts Xsight / Protecto remote lines

by Darren Murph posted Sep 9th 2008 at 10:36AM

Still haven't found a universal remote to match your style? If not, have a look at the latest from One For All. The Xsight line, consisting of the Touch (€199; $281) and Color (€149; $210), boasts a 2.2-inch color display, touch-slide navigation, control for up to 18 devices and a web-based programming process that's reportedly easy enough for a caveman to handle. If you're looking for something really unusual, the Protecto line shouldn't disappoint. The display-less universals feature backlit keys, the ability to control up to 4 devices and a rubberized design that keeps 'em from cracking under the pressures of kids and weekly NFL parties. Clearly aimed at the low-end, these range from just €19.99 ($28) to €29.99 ($43) and should hit stores (at least across the pond) later this month.

All very nice, but the Euro "One for All" company is quite different from the USA one. Euro products rarely make it to the US, and seem to be embargoed against shipment here.

This remote aint no supercomputer with secret compression algorithms to prevent its release in the USA. Logitech and Philips remotes come over to the USA no problem, and if it's a promising product, then this remote will come stateside too.

Sadly you might be right, Murphy. I just checked the Euro portion of the company's website and they have some slick stuff on there. But then I moused over to the U.S. side and saw the 90's inspired craptasticness that we're stuck with.

I'm moving to Europe. LOL

In the past I've tried to get their stuff sent to the US from, say, Amazon.co.uk. Sadly it is marked as "UK addresses only."

It's not state secrets we're talking about, but that the Universal Electronics owns the brand in North America, and One4All International owns it elsewhere. They do share some stuff, but UEC is more interested in the very low end and OEM markets (cable, radio shack, etc).
