Apple Remote - need new one!!!

DadaKopf

I lost the remote that came with my MacBook Pro.

I would like to buy a new one. They also seem muchos cheaper on eBay, so I'll proberly go that route.

But I'm not sure: they're marketed as 'iPod remotes', but imply that they do work with any Mac product with infra red.

Is this true?

Apple Remote with iPod
If you connect your iPod to a home stereo, powered speakers or TV set, the Apple Remote lets you experience your songs, slideshows and more from across the room. Just plug your iPod into the Universal Dock and choose a playlist, slideshow or video. Then, sit back, relax and enjoy. Ready to move on to the next song? No need to get up from your sofa--just press the forward button on the Apple Remote. Phone ringing? Just click pause, then pick up where you left off.

The Apple Remote offers play/pause, volume control and forward/back buttons.

The Apple Remote requires the iPod Universal Dock and any iPod with a Dock connector.

Apple Remote with Mac
Included with most new desktop and notebook Macs, the Apple Remote gives you total command of your music, photos, videos and DVDs from anywhere in the room. It combines with Front Row -- a menu-driven, full-screen interface -- to make accessing your iMac's digital bounty from any seat in the room as simple as navigating your iPod. When you click the Apple Remote's Menu button, your desktop fades and Front Row's sleek interface takes its place to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Movies folder and whatever DVDs you want to play. Turn up the volume. Shuffle. Skip to the next chapter on your DVD. Play a slideshow, a home movie you made in iMovie, even a movie trailer. Just sit back and enjoy the show.

I'd say ebay is worth a try, ok there's a chance it could be a knock off but for 10e it can't be bad

While your waiting for your 10e job to land from ebay, try using your sky remote if you have one.;)
