WIRED Product Reviews: 8 of 10 stars

"Color us pleasantly surprised then by Kodak's new Theatre HD player. Within minutes of hooking up this unassuming little black box to our TV, our skepticism vanished faster than Arctic Sea ice... As icing on the content-serving cake, Kodak even includes a clever gyroscopic remote. Yes, it resembles a rotten miniature banana. But when it comes to setting up accounts or simply scrolling through hundreds of photos, it makes every other controller look like antiquated junk" Bryan Gardiner, Kodak's Little Black Box Spreads Media-Streaming Love, WIRED (2/3/09)

"The technology for the remote, developed by Hillcrest, is ripe for use in a real television remote control. Pointing and clicking through grids of content and channels could be faster and more fun than scrolling down, down, down all the time." Jane Douglas, The future of the remote control, MSN UK - Tech & Gadgets (1/11/09)

Electronic Design

"Pooling their collective talents, Hillcrest Labs and Texas Instruments have unveiled the Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics (RF4CE) compliant remote controls with Freespace Technology, an RF-based remote technology that eliminates line-of-sight pointing requirements." Remote Controls Exploit Freespace Technology, Electronic Design (1/7/09)
