Fumbling around for the TV remote is one of modern life's greatest irritants. And, with the advent of so many other remote controlled devices - VCR, DVD, CD, Satellite - couch potato life gets harder all the time.

Thankfully, you can now put an end to multiple remote misery with the sleek and sophisticated Kameleon 6 in 1. This ingenious wafer of hi-tech jiggery pokery is a universal remote control unit that can operate up to six - yes, six - entertainment appliances at once. From your TV and VCR to your DVD, CD, Audio, satellite and cable, this gorgeously svelte, touch sensitive remote does the lot.

Ergonomically designed to fit snugly into all manner of mitts, the Kameleon impresses the very second you pick it up. Built-in motion sensors activate an ultra cool, electro-luminescent display panel that resembles something from the bridge of the Starship Enterprise (Picard era; Kirk's toupee would quiver at the sight of this Primary Directive busting baby). In fact, even when you're not using it to operate things, the Kameleon doubles up as a pretty nifty pretend Tricorder (we really should get out more).

Best of all, an ingenious 'no clutter' key system means that only the keys of the active device are illuminated at any one time, so you won't see a profusion of confusing FFWD/RWD keys when you're operating your TV! To infuriate your friends further, certain keys even have animations. And just to hammer the final nail in the coffin of other remotes, the Kameleon is also future-proof. A built-in modem enables it to be updated with new device codes via phone or internet download.

This really is the Rolls Royce of remotes and no home entertainment anorak should be without one. Blipping marvellous.
