A truly satisfying universal control system would involve a simple but expansive user interface, a piece of buttered ham, and a butler to change the channels.

Until then, a fully baked remote with WiFi will do.

Universal Remote’s upcoming MX-6000 appears to be the newest Cadillac of remotes because it’s something of a mini-computer: it includes a 4.3″ LCD wide screen (480×272), 128MB of DDR RAM, and it can process up to 250 different A/V devices.

Scheduled for release at next week’s CEDIA, the remote also combines a narrowband RF connection with the WiFi to find IPs and control everything.
