First up are the $399.95 MX-600 and $799.95 MX-800 which, according to the limited information available, are RF-capable versions of the MX-500 and MX-700 units (respectively). Since these models look identical to their already-reviewed counterparts, there’s no need to post their photos here.

What’s big news is a brand new color LCD touchscreen model, the MX-3000. This high-end remote also features IR and RF control. Although no further information is available, the model sports a landscape-oriented display, 16 hard buttons and a design that looks really ergonomic. No price was mentioned, but considering the cost of the MX-800 you can expect the MX-3000 to list for well over $1000.

A few other new remotes...
Also shown on the CES 2003 Innovations page are other upcoming remote controls.

In move sure to create brand and model confusion, Proton is releasing a new remote control. The iRemote iR-800 LCD touchscreen controls up to 15 devices and comes complete with docking station.

Another new remote to be released at CES 2003 is a 8-device touchscreen remote from Gemini Industries, the PM8FS. I’ll be sure to post more information on all of these new products as they become available. I know for a fact that there will be other great remote controls to see! CES 2003 is starting to look really interesting...
