The ANDI-ONE can interact with devices via Wi-Fi, IR or RF. It also remembers the last 20 actions that you made, so you can quickly search the list and repeat them, although frankly I don’t know exactly how this works, or what it counts as an action. You can also set up macros and organize devices by room. Downloading channel guides is also an option.

But more than that, the Android 2.1 remote is also a portable media player. It can have up to 8GB of internal memory and supports microSD cards up to 64GB. You can watch videos on its 3.5″ touchscreen, connect a 3.5mm jack or just use its built-in speakers and play tracks on it, and you can even download and use over 10,000 Android apps. You can even make VOIP calls on it. And what about its charging cradle? In addition to having a couple of 3W speakers, an HDMI port and an Ethernet port, you can also dock an iPhone or iPad on it.

I wonder why the remote in the video has a different layout than the one on Conspin’s website; must be a prototype or something. Anyway, now that you know what the ANDI-ONE is capable of, you’d be a fool to think that this remote is cheap. Its suggested retail price is $350 (USD), but Krex already has it listed at about $290. They’re out of stock right now though. If you’re looking to replace your your remote and your Android media player, keep an eye out for the ANDI-ONE.

The front side of the Smart Qwerty has all your standard home theater and media controls for playback, device selection, changing channels and audio. But flip the remote over, and you’ll discover a 66-key QWERTY keyboard. There’s also a trackball mouse for speedy navigation. A built-in gyroscope figures out which side is currently facing up.

The Smart Qwerty’s front is a six-device IR universal remote, while the keyboard and trackball works with Google TV devices, gaming systems and HTPCs that support USB keyboards. Just plug the included RF dongle into your device, and you have a mini wireless keyboard. It’ll also work in IR mode if your device supports infrared keyboard remotes. There’s no word yet on where you can buy the Smart Qwerty yet, but it will retail for $129.99 (USD) when it eventually hits stores.

The Elan Smart Remote (model ESR-8020) features a pair of capacitive touch pads, which can be used to interact with any standard PC software. The remote has five modes: mouse, keyboard, joystick, presentation and handwriting recognition. While each pad appears to only sense a single finger press, the pair together can be used to produce Windows 7 multitouch gestures. Flip the remote over, and it’s a full-function AV remote for controlling Windows Media Center apps. Check out the video below to see the Elan Smart Remote in action.

Elan plans on showing off the remote at the upcoming CES 2010 show in Las Vegas. No word on pricing or a release date yet.

This compact wireless handheld keyboard feature a tiny QWERTY keypad like you’d find on your mobile phone, and lets you transmit keystrokes to your computer from up to 30 feet away. There’s also a little wireless trackpad so you can control the cursor from across the room. The keypad also has a bright backlight for use in darkened rooms.

Just plug in the included RF receiver USB dongle, charge up the controller, and you’ll be e-mailing from across the room in no time. Check out the video clip below to see the keyboard in action.

At first glance, I struggled to understand why you’d want a keyboard this small, but then I realized it might be good for doing presentations, as well as for controlling an HTPC setup if you want to surf the web on your big screen television. Or maybe for when your cat wants to use the computer. The wireless keyboard/touchpad is available over at USB Geek for $62 (USD).

Using a wireless RF transmitter, you can make the yellow aquatic bird tool around as you splish-splash in your bath. A pair of motorized propellers moves the little guy through the water, and let you steer duckie to the left, right, forwards or backwards. A quick 5-minute charge will give you about 15-minutes of bathtime fun. And yes, both the duck and controller are waterproof, so there’s no worries about electrocuting yourself.

The R/C Rubber Duck is available from I Want One of Those for £14.99 (appx. $26.98 USD). Quack.

The new Ambient Devices Baseball ScoreCast receives a digital radio-frequency broadcast to update with the latest scores every half-inning. It’ll even tell your the current standings for your team’s division as they race towards the Pennant.

Keep in mind that Ambient’s wireless data network covers only 90% of the U.S., so be sure to check coverage before buying. Expect the device to hit stores just in time for the 2008 baseball season for about $125.

Buttons on the sides of each car automatically trigger ejector seats that make its passengers and driver go airborne on contact. A carefully placed side impact should propel two of the occupants, but it’ll take a serious rollover wreck to get all four of them out and eating the pavement.

Each car comes with an RF wireless remote control and is propelled by AA batteries. A pair of the crashing stock cars costs £24.99 (appx. $44.98 USD) over on I Want One Of Those.

The water cannon floats around your swimming pool, and can remotely fire 20-foot blasts of water at unsuspecting victims from up to 40-feet away. The cannon is propelled using a system similar to the nozzles that drive tugboats around, so you can maneuver it quickly and easily. It can even do 360-degree spins.

Two versions are available (orange and green), which run on independent radio frequencies, allowing battles between you and a friend.

The remote water cannon is $129.95 from Hammacher Schlemmer.

The ZMotion Wireless Space Presenter looks like a super-slim remote control, but does a lot more than just flip pages in a PowerPoint deck. Using internal sensors it can measure your movements along all 3-dimensions, tracking them on your computer screen. It’s bundled with software that lets you type on screen and use it just like a mouse too. Since the controller uses RF communication, you don’t need to point it directly at your computer either.

The ZMotion even includes a built-in laser pointer so you can highlight your presentation on the big screen. It can be found on Korea’s EarlyAdopter online shop for KRW 158,000 (appx. $170 USD) including a USB receiver dongle, charger cable and a nice carrying case.

The new DLO TuneStik comes with a special safety holder to attach the remote to your steering wheel, which makes it ideal for in-car use. Simply snap the compact FM transmitter onto the bottom of your iPod, attach the remote to your steering wheel, and you’ll be able to control your tunes without having to take your eyes off the road.

Since the remote control is RF-based, you don’t have to aim it at the iPod, making it useful for those times you want to listen to your tunes on your a home stereo without any wires.

The TuneStik retails for $59.99 and works with most iPods made in the last couple of years.

The Obsidian mouse features a high-precision 1000DPI optical sensor, and operates wirelessly over RF. The mouse comes with a USB-based dock for storage and charging.  The Obsidian retails for $50 and works with Windows and Mac OS machines.

The Signal Cell Phone Adviser detects the radio waves around your cell phone and automatically lights up to let you know you have an incoming call or message. I haven’t had a chance to see one in action, but if it works with all types of mobile phones, and is truly accurate, it seems like a good idea. It’s just $21 from PureModern.

The PCPAL is even slim enough to be stored in your laptop’s PC card slot. The remote can be used to control PowerPoint presentations, and functions over RF, so doesn’t require line-of-sight. Priced at about $40, it’s worth a look if you do lots of on-the-road presenting.

In addition to the typical volume and track controls, Keyspan’s new TuneView for iPod (model TVI-200C) features a full color LCD display of your iPod’s playlists, so you can really control your iPod as if it were right in front of you. The system includes a dock with audio and S-Video outputs as well as USB sync and charge capabilities. The remote control operates using radio frequencies (RF) rather than infrared (IR), meaning it does not require line of site to operate. The 2.4Ghz RF transmitter is said to work up to 150 feet away in an open space (or about 75 feet through walls), so you can use it throughout your house.

The TuneView for iPod is available now for about $179 USD.

The remote features a 3.5-inch programmable touchscreen, along with a variety of programmable, tactile buttons. The remote will control any device with an infrared receiver, and like other Harmony remotes, is set up through a simple web interface which contains discrete codes from over 175,000 devices. If your device isn’t in the Harmony database, you can still teach your codes to the device as well. The remote also supports RF extenders which allow you to broadcast the signal through walls to other rooms in your house.

As is the case with all Harmony remotes, it’s all “activity based,” so you simply choose a function like “Play a movie,” or “Watch TV,” and the interface automatically adjusts to display relevant functions for those devices.

Coming out later this Fall and priced at $499.99 USD, this one looks like a winner.
