Here's a thought. Buy a cheap phone, they are usually made in small sizes, they might also have more features than the remote control. And for the connectivity for the tv, there's something called a wireless network, some phones can connect to smart tv so there's no point in keeping the phone near the tv.

It would be a more serious investment if they added a sim card capability to it, so it could be used as a secondary feature phone as well as a remote control device. In that case, if they offered the remote-phone included in the price of the Butterfly, maybe i might buy such a set.

Sure it would be great on a tablet but remeber that you would have to keep it withing sgnal range of both network and bluetooh. But I bet tablets sit usually in briefcases or backpacks.

Then... HTC will launch 'HTC Smart Watch', a remote control for this HTC Mini..
after that, in the next month it'll launch 'HTC Ring', a remote for the smart watch...

Horrayyy.... it's so brilliant. Don't forget to buy all of this accessories. Just buy it!

This would be much better on a tablet with voice call capabilities.

I got an idea..how about getting me instead one of those small Nokia cheap handsets and save me some 600 to 700 $. A remote for a phone...i wonder who came up with that useless doozy. How about another idea....getting a bluetooth ear piece instead

I think it's a great idea. There have been plenty of moments when you have one hand busy and handling that huge smartphone is a pain. The only downside might me the bluetooth communication .

guys shut-up, you don't know what are you talking about!! people are spending hundreds of dollars to buy some creepy bluetooth headsets, and none of them even come close to this addition from HTC !! you're not even able to buy the phone, so what are you doing here ? just saying bullshit :D

Hi,

I am glad you all like our new 'mini' invention of a phone to control your phone, we are planning another development to this which I think you will like, we are calling this 'micro'. What this is, is a small device which you can carry around additionally which will control your mini. Just imagine the possibilities of controlling a phone which controls your phone. We feel this is ingenious but were wondering what the users will think.

Please respond in the comments below.
Many thanks.
