Today Logitech unveiled the Harmony One advanced universal remote control at CES 2008. The Harmony One is a full touch screen remote delivering control of all home entertainment devices.
The remote is ergonomically designed and features a curved and comfortable shape which makes it easy for anyone in the family to hold the remote.
The new universal remote from Logitech features a 2.2-inch color touch screen. Using an infrared receiver the Harmony One provides control of any home entertainment device including digital video recorders, high-definition televisions and other household appliances.
The remote is capable of displaying icons of specified TV stations for quick access to favorite stations.
“The Harmony advanced universal remotes have been highly successful at providing easy, one-touch access to favorite activities, such as watching TV, playing a video game, or listening to music – all with a single remote,” said Ashish Arora, vice president and general manager of Logitech’s Harmony business unit.
“To further improve our lineup, while developing Harmony One, we sought to intimately understand the interaction between people, their remotes, and their entertainment systems. In fact, Harmony One is the result of our most comprehensive research and development undertaking ever – more than 20,000 hours,” he added.
The new Logitech universal remote gives one touch access to various devices. To watch a DVD, users have to simply touch “Watch a DVD” on the touch screen. Likewise you can control other appliances too.
The Harmony One will be available in American and European markets from the beginning of February 2008 at the price of $249.99 (approx Rs. 9,820)
