HTC Mini+ smartphone remote (pictures)
We get to grips with HTC's odd new Bluetooth gadget, which lets you answer calls, e-mails, and texts, and also features a laser pointer.

Looks weird, right? The Mini+ has phone capabilities in theory, but it's only to be used as an accessory or TV remote.
It communicates with your phone using Bluetooth. You'll mostly be using this device to view texts and e-mails from your mobile, as well as answer calls.
It could come in useful if your phone is hooked up to your TV and not accessible.
It has a laser pointer inside it, for, uh, delivering presentations?
There's an IR blaster in here, too, so you can use the Mini+ as a TV remote, too.
It's slim, and you can use it to trigger the phone's camera from a distance, too.
Are you tempted by a remote control for your phone? Or does it sound thoroughly pointless? Let us know.
