SnapStream Media officially launched Firefly Mini today! The remote is now available for $29.99 in the SnapStream Store. You can read all about Mini, see a comparison chart with Firefly, and also see some great pictures on the Firefly Mini Product Pages.

Here are some of the cool things about Firefly Mini:

1) Smaller, sleaker, simpler, and maybe even sexier…

2) IR Based Technology. Check out Zack’s posting to see how you can now control your PC using a universal IR remote control.

3) No special drivers or software needed. Since Firefly Mini is a HID compliant device, you can just plug it in and start using it.

4) Supports a lot of applications right out of the box! Of course, we wanted Firefly Mini to work great with Beyond TV, Beyond TV Link, and Beyond Media, and it definitely does. However, we also wanted to offer a remote control that would work with other applications to maximize the value. Since Firefly Mini uses standard HID commands, you can use it to control any application that supports HID — a steadily growing list.

Here’s the button mapping.

Additionally, some keys are special to SnapStream products. Here they are:

Firefly – Launches Beyond Media, Beyond TV, or Beyond TV Link (can also be configured to launch any application).
Guide – Navigates Beyond TV to the Program Guide Screen.
Last – While watching Live TV, changes channels to the previous channel.
Menu – While watching a DVD in Beyond Media, launches the DVD menu. Otherwise, navigates to the main menu.
Option – Brings up the context-sensitive options menu.

That’s it. If you’re interested, you can also check out Chrissy’s official press release.
