Saucer-Sized Universal Remotes

The GenosTV Cyclops Can Control Any and Everything Electronic

— June 17, 2010 — Tech
The GenosTV Cyclops is the largest and most ambitious universal remote that you are likely to ever see. This remote looks like a hockey puck and features a full QWERTY keyboard.

A universal remote with a keyboard certainly means business. The GenosTV Cyclops is purportedly Bluetooth enabled, meaning that you can use it to text until your fingers fall off, or until you die from embarrassment from texting on a universal remote. All joking aside, I can't wait to see how the GenosTV Cyclops does when it hits the market for the holidays this year.

Could we be on the verge of a universal remote revolution?
