Remote Control - Magic Wand

The Snapstream Firefly PC Remote is a great way to control your PC wirelessly from a distance of around 30-40 feet. You can control tons of applications right out of the box, such as Windows Media Player, various TV, DVD and CD applications and full mouse control. You can write you own controls scripts in XML, so you can customize the device to work with virtually any application with very little trouble. I've had one for a year now and it works great from one end of my house to the USB base unit in my computer on the other. For less the 50 bucks you can have a great remote with the ability to improve it with time. Very hack friendly.

Froogle has it cheapest at $45.95.
