Sony PZ1 Remotes

Sony on Friday resisted the movement towards complex controls with news of its new PZ1 series remotes. Each boasts just the essentials for controlling either analog or digital channels and includes extra-large buttons that can be used by the pool or at the dinner table when a traditional remote would be harder to wield. The PZ1FD model (pictured) is the simplest to use with a wide design and waterproofing good enough to resist most splashes, according to Sony's claims. It ships in red, silver, and white to Japan near the end of August for an estimated $22.

Two smaller, bar-shaped versions of the PZ1 will join the FD: the PZ1SD will sport a modern look and a slightly shorter battery life, while the PZ1D features more comfortable rounded edges. Both will be priced roughly the same as the FD model and should be available in the same timeframe in conventional colors. [via Impress]
