A recently-launched wireless remote for the iPod, the TuneView, has been updated by its creator, Keyspan.
The TuneView for iPod has a colour LCD screen and two-way connectivity and has now been updated with firmware that increases scrolling speed, adds an ability to jump to a specific first letter and aims to improve wake-from-sleep performance.
Mike Ridenhour, president of Keyspan, said that users of the TuneView have contributed to the improvement of the device by offering their ideas.
He added: "Unlike other iPod remotes, TuneView can be updated by connecting it to the USB port on a PC or Mac and loading new firmware on to the remote.
"This provides a way to easily add new functionality to the remote."
Consisting of a dock that connects an iPod to a stereo or television, the TuneView was originally released in December last year.
Maclife commented that the remote's "Matrix-like ability" to beam through walls is impressive, allowing the user to control the iPod from different rooms and floors.
