Has Panasonic Reinvented the Remote Control?

The remote can sense left- or right-handed users and adjust the interface appropriately, moving important triggers around based on where one's thumb may (or may not) be. Dual touch pads allow for multitouch data entry and zoom manipulation, while gestures allow for quick scrolls, making this one of the most intuitive and drool-worthy remote controls we've seen in a while, or ever.
We're so into it that we've provided a full gallery and three videos after the break (and if you want to see more of what televisions are going to do in the coming years, check out our gallery of 7 Cool TVs From the Future).

What a waste of money! I've got a standard remote and can do JUST FINE without having to look at it to see what buttons im pressing

Will it work with any TV? How much? When will it be available? Can't wait to try it.

Re new remote. Does this mean that after only several decades you won't need a engineering degree or a grandchild nearby so you can record and play DVD's for example. One or two button punches to do this would make the next manufacturer a fortune. But, oh well. DK

Scandal!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Moron Brad, do you think you'll ever get a life? All of your ignorant posts would suggest not. Get a job, move out of your parents basement and quit posting your stupid scandal crap. You're pathetic.
