• GreenPeak’s remote control is efficient and eco-friendly

    Although it isn’t alternatively powered, GreenPeak’s remote control will flaunt the green crown at the CES 2009. Fitted with Emerald GP500C chip, the remote control will be able to get its juice from a single watch battery. Also the chip’s IEEE 802.15.4 protocol allows for two-way communication. Hence these potentially greener remotes would be able to offer high-definition album art and menus from household devices on their screens. Such a move will at least help to save on to tons of AA and AAA batteries that eventually end up in landfills. However, we hope to see more of solar powered or other alternatively charged up versions in 2009 and get rid of the dependence on the batteries completely.
