September 25, 2003
HOOD RIVER, OR—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Sep. 25, 2003—Distinguished by its USB-compatible infrared receiver, sleek 35 key infrared hand held remote that reaches over 40 feet and full featured PC remote control, the Streamzap PC Remote leads this year's gift choices for PC enthusiasts of all ages. Streamzap provides user-friendly software that is easy to install and configure and special macro keys that load playlists and applications with one command.
Streamzap makes it fun to control MP3s, DVDs, Internet Radio and even PowerPoint presentations stored on your hard drive using a remote control instead of a keyboard. MP3 users can skip songs, change volume, mute, pause and even load their favorite playlists. Internet Radio listeners can adjust volume, hit mute to answer the phone or switch stations with a single click of the remote. You can even roam the room and interact with your audience during a PowerPoint presentation.
The Streamzap PC Remote works with all of the popular multimedia programs such as Winamp, Windows Media Player and RealOne. Streamzap provides additional flexibility to Media Center PC owners, enabling them to control both Microsoft?s XP Media Center software as well as other multimedia software programs. Also due to recent product enhancements, Winamp 3 users can go to any track using the number keypad or switch playlists using the channel up/down buttons.
“Given the other computer remotes I looked into, I think the Streamzap offered the best value,” says Andy from Ontario. “I could instantly use PowerDVD and Winamp with no additional setup. Very comfortable remote too... contoured well with my hand.”
“This product was engineered and designed to appeal to the mass market of millions of Americans whom are downloading MP3s and playing back music on their computer,” says Jonah Peskin, President of Streamzap Inc. “Based on extensive research and development, the Streamzap remote works with your current computer system no matter what software you use to play movies or music. Our retail relationships are also expanding, highlighted by a recent partnership with CompUSA. PC enthusiasts of all ages will appreciate this unique, high-tech gift.”
