It let’s you “fly” through your photos and songs using the cool pointer interface. Or Internet radio stations, or Flickr pics. Because the product was designed from the start for a pointer, it’s pioneering the new UI we will probably all use eventually on TVs.

Frankly it makes old remotes look like DOS compared to Mac.

(I tried it at a 1/07 CES event.) See anyone using it yet…?
