Quietly and without any sort of official press release, Sony has recently "announced" two new touchscreen remote controls: the RM-AV2500 and the RM-AV3100. The RM-AV3100 is nearly identical to its RM-AV3000 predecessor, but features upgraded software with several new features. The RM-AV2500, on the other hand, is a completely new physical design that is functionally similar to the older RM-AV2100. Both remotes are not yet available, but should be shipping shortly...
