Every year we hit the CES floor, we come across about a half dozen products that e just say “Wow” and wonder where these have been before now. On of those products came from Vizio, who introduced a unique remote design for there “Connected HDTV" Platform. This remote will be used to control not only the basic TV functions, but also the Yahoo widgets that are brought in via the internal wired or 802.11n wireless receiver.

What makes it special is that it has a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard and as well as basic game controls like a d-pad and four button configuration on the sides of the QWERTY. Take a look at the picture below and think about all of the interactive content that is about to be flowing into our connected TVs in the near future.
