Keyspan announced TuneView, a wireless remote control that manages iTunes on a PC or Apple Macintosh in an entirely new way. TuneView works with Apple's AirPort Express, Xitel's Hi-Fi Link and other products that connect audio output from a PC-based music server to the audio inputs on an AV receiver or multi-room audio system.

    TuneView features a color LCD screen and familiar iPod-like menus that help users easily browse and control iTunes music, videos, radio, and podcasts from up to 150 ft. away. Both the TuneView transceiver and TuneView remote are USB devices that can be updated via a firmware download. Over time we will release firmware updates that add new capabilities to TuneView.

    "TuneView provides the missing piece to the PC music server puzzle," explained Mike Ridenhour, president at Keyspan. "There have been many ways to feed sound from iTunes to a stereo system, but there has never been an effective and affordable way to control iTunes from anywhere in your house."

    TuneView is available to resellers in the U.S. via Ingram Micro, D&H, and Wynit. Check the Keyspan website for international distributors. Now shipping, TuneView has an MSRP of $149 and is available to consumers at Keyspan's Online Store, PC Connection, PC Mall, Amazon.com and other leading resellers.

    Keyspan offers the industry's most comprehensive line of remote controls for the PC, Mac and iPod. Keyspan presentation remotes are top sellers in business and education markets. Keyspan entertainment remotes are valued by consumers using the PC, Mac and iPod for music and video.
