NEW DELHI, INDIA: Logitech recently introduced the Logitech Harmony 1100 advanced universal remote control with a 3.5 inch full-color touchscreen.

Logitech's newest remote provides a touchscreen interface that lets you put the commands you want, where you want them.

The Harmony 1100 remote has received the CES 2009 Design and Engineering Award for Best of Innovations in the Home-Entertainment Accessories category—the second consecutive year a Logitech Harmony remote has been honored with this award.

“The Harmony 1100 is a natural extension of the Harmony promise—to simplify today's complex home-entertainment systems,” said Ashish Arora, VP and GM—Harmony Business Unit, Logitech.

“As more and more people get the bulk of their entertainment at home, Harmony 1100 will help people get more out of their home-entertainment experience, for a fraction of the price of traditional custom-installed remotes,” he added.

In addition to the customizable touchscreen and compact size, ie about the size of the palm, Harmony 1100 offers tactile guides, a brushed-black aluminum top case and soft-touch bottom case and it is rechargeable.

The Harmony 1100 is expected to be available in the US and Europe beginning in February for a suggested retail price of $499.99.
