I'm moving to a new home in a few weeks and I'm trying to find out if there is a way to have a wireless handheld LCD remote that I can use to control a PC in a seperate room, basically for playing MP3s and having the output from the PC brought down to the stereo in the front room. I know I could do it with wires, but I'd like a wireless solution.

I did a Google search but got nothing that looked OK - Linksys do a system but it doesn't have an LCD screen to replicate the computer screen and allow for full browsing of the music library, which really is a must as otherwise I'll be back and forward to the PC upstairs changing the playlists.

Anyone know of anything that fits the bill?

Cheers

Now thats getting there. The Squeezebox looks cool, but it lacks the screen that I was looking for, so the internet tablet looks like a grand solution.
