    Im starting college in a month and I figured Id purchase a remote primarily for 3 reasons:

    • Powerpoint presentations
    • iTunes Music
    • Movies


    Which of the Dell remotes, (if any), would work with iTunes? Also, will it work with any movie player program like quickplayer/windows media player?

    Im thinking of ordering the $15 IR remote because it doesnt stick out; does the $50 bluetooth enabled one have any distinct advantages that would justify the $35 difference?

    I also have the same questions about the Dell remote functionnality versus another one (like the Interlink Bluetooth).

    What applications can be controlled with the Dell IR remote? Windows Media Center?? Winamp?? etc.... I know that the Interlink can work with many programs, but what about the Dell.

    Thanks
