For this week, I chose to analyze a remote control prototype that doubles as a mini-television, designed by Samsung. "For TV addicts it could be the ultimate remote control: a 7-inch portable touchscreen that can not only control gadgets in the living room but also check out and what's playing on channels other than the one currently showing on the big screen."
This gadget can access the internet, controls the television, and acts as a 2nd small television all in one. "The advantage is that if you have a family, your wife [can be] watching one channel, and you can browse on your small device some other channel or zap there without annoying anybody else," said Michael Zöller, a marketing director at Samsung Electronics Europe."
This concept is not yet available, and no word on when it will become available, but as Zöller says,"We think this might be a very interesting application for the future."

That is interesting I would love that. My husband and we have very different taste in tv. I would give him the remote and watch my tv. Interesting product it's takes away the tv guide on tv instead you can do it right in the palm of your hand and even go to that channel to view it first. The technology is just gets crazier.
