Sharp-Sighted Reader Spots Possible iTV Remote

Eagle-eyed reader Phillippe Robin has spotted a possible remote control for Apple's upcoming iTV media console. When Steve Jobs announced the unit back at its "Showtime" event this year, an image of Apple's Front Row remote control (or something very similar to it) was seen.

The video, which can be seen via a recorded YouTube clip, shows the remote control at three minutes and forty seconds into the play time.

While a rumored iTV remote control image was seen a few weeks ago, the unit seemed black and unwieldy, uncharacteristic for Apple, which tends to pride itself on a crisp and uniform appearance in its product line.

With Macworld Expo San Francisco less than two weeks away, speculation is fervent and iTV could be a clear winner depending on provided features.

If you've seen or heard anything about iTV and its remote or just want to throw your two cents in, let us know.

The media there got to use the iTV afterwards, with the regular Front Row remote. The speculation was that if this was a prototypoe, other remotes may be used.

This is the remote control that is presently delivered with all Mac models (see http://www.apple.com/imac/frontrow.html). This fact was regularly reported in the days after iTV's introduction.

the itv remote is the front row remote. I don't understand why anyone would think differently. I even think cnet did a review with the late Mr. Kim using the remote the entire time.
