Third party peripheral maker KeySpan has announced that it has released its TuneView remote control in black as well as updated it associated firmware.
The TuneView, which retails for US$179, functions as a remote control for fourth and fifth generation iPods as well as the iPod Nano and iPod Mini models and features a built in LCD screen that users can use to navigate through an iPod’s contents and doesn’t require a line of sight to interact with the iPod according to Macworld News.
The firmware, which reached version 1.2, is a 282 kilobyte download that allows for quicker scrolling through an iPod’s menu, improves wake-on-sleep performance and adds the ability to just to a specific first letter on a list of files. The updater applies to both the TuneView remote itself as well as its dock connector, which is updated in a separate process from the remote control.
If you’ve tried the new firmware and had either a positive or negative experience with it, let us know.
