The Bang and Olufsen Beo5 Touch Screen Remote

— September 8, 2007 — Tech
If you've decided that conventional channel changing just isn't cool, then it's time to upgrade your remote control. The Bang and Olufsen Beo is a pricey alternative to your crappy remote. It features a unique design with an integrated touch screen panel that shows the logos of your favorite channels.

Pricing and availability has not yet been released.

Sci Fi Tech notes, "Controlling not just your home theatre, but basically anything else in your home that requires remote controlling, the Beo 5 can be customized to your liking. The touchscreen can show the logos of the channels you have, so you don't even need to look at the TV to choose what you want to watch."

If the B&O remote isn't cool enough for you, then check out these:
