For those of you still waiting for the mythical Apple television set Neatorama brings news of a new remote that just might be the cutest TV accessory ever made.
The ApriPoko is a voice-operated robot that acts as a universal remote control. It observes what you do and asks you about it in order to learn how to operate your devices. ApriPoko detects infrared beams typically used in handheld remotes and can duplicate their signal. Once it has learned how to duplicate the functions of your current remotes ApriPoko is controlled via voice commands.
While not available for sale, it does show promise for voice-controlled home devices as is rumored for Apple’s integrated television.
