After reading the coverage of the Samsung CES keynote, I'm even more confused by this device. They showed a guy using the touchscreen to scroll through his twitter feed on the TV screen. The commenter had the question "Why not just read twitter on the device your holding, instead of shrinking your TV viewing experience to fit it up there?"

I could see it being useful in a similar way that the Remote app is on an iPhone, used for selecting music playing through the AirPlay speakers and other similar use cases. Just seems odd to get rid of all physical buttons though for a TV remote, including the basic volume up and down buttons.

Oh, and "Zoll's back!"
