I did want to add one thing about the Gyration products in general. If you compare them to a Wii remote, they are much more accurate with pointing (using it as a mouse) They really have the technology down pat.

I'm never going to get that kinda range with a Wii remote am I? I am talking about the non-line of site range. In other words I would like to be able to control my music volume not being in the same room and from the sound of it, the Gyration will handle that just well.

So it will work through floors and walls? What is the range or does a lot of that depends on the receiver as well?
Maybe I will give the Wii Remote a try, I have two of them but I do not have any blue tooth on my PC (yet). ;D

Ya know I was thinking... This does have the display play list on it and that is a nice feature, also there would not be all those hoops to jump through to get it to work either. I mean I have not tried the Wii remote but it looks to be a pretty lenghty write up! Not saying it is not worth the time or the effort but this product looks to be very solid.

It has a 100ft RF range. Not the IR part that controls external components obviously.

The only downside is the price... $150.00 compared to the Wii remote.
