This review is from: Interlink Electronics VP6600 ExpressCard Media Remote for Bluetooth (Personal Computers)

Stores very easily, although 1/2 inch sticks out of the the PCI Express slot. Works great with Vista's Media Center software, with less functionality on Windows Media Player. Long lasting battery, very happy with purchase.

While it works as expected, from the description you are lead to believe that it will fit all the way into the slot. This is not the case. It sticks out of the slot about half an inch (the dark grey part in the picture) while charging.

This review is from: Interlink Electronics VP6600 ExpressCard Media Remote for Bluetooth (Personal Computers)

I ordered the Interlink ExpressCard Media Remote with the Dell XPS M1210, and I've been loving it ever since. It tucks away nicely out of sight inside the ExpressCard slot where it charges at the same time. Typically, battery life is about 1 week, but only takes about 2 hours to fully charge the remote. It works with all the applications I use without any problems (Windows Media Player, iTunes, PowerPoint, etc). I had the remote for about 2 months now, and haven't had any problems.
