TUSTIN, Calif., Dec. 08, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- A perfect holiday gift for any electronics enthusiast, the Guide Remote from Evolve Solutions puts an end to interrupted program viewing. Not only does the Guide Remote control multiple devices, it also contains a unique feature not found on current remote controls. The device allows users the ability to access weekly customized TV Program information right in the palm of their hand, to see what's on now and what's on next without missing anything.
"The Guide Remote is the perfect holiday gift and we believe it will be one of the most sought after consumer electronic devices this year," said Frank O'Donnell, Evolves chief executive officer and a company co-founder.
