Motorola introduces keyboard for interactive TV

Maybe Google TV will get everyone thinking about having keyboards in the living room. Motorola certainly thinks this. At IBC,Motorola announced the NYXboard, which combines the traditional remote control form with a full keyboard to create a more intuitive navigational experience for sophisticated interactive TV services as well as traditional linear TV. Able to control both the set-top and television set, the NYXboard has sensors to recognise which side of the remote is being used in order to activate the buttons accordingly. The keyboard function answers the demands of navigating content in the Internet Era of TV, such as searching through larger and more complex on-demand libraries or accessing web content on the TV. NYXboard will be available by the end of 2010
