5 Other Things You Can Do With Crestron UFO

With just a little imagination, you can turn your Crestron UFO-4X touchscreen into your pet, your plaything, or your spa treatment.

The new UFO-4X from Crestron looks to be a versatile little controller -- all the functions of a standard Crestron touchscreen, but with a flying-saucer form factor.

We believe Crestron has barely scratched the (touchscreen) surface of what this little saucer can do. Here are just a few possibilities:

Not in a million years, 39, but you are sweet to suggest it and I curtsy in return ... Now, if only I knew a “graphics” program beyond Powerpoint.

Julie, you are classless. These are the types of articles that do nothing to benefit our industry. I’m all about having fun, but perhaps you should spread your negativity around instead of being so biased.

Jon, again, I’m not understanding your comment.

Are you suggesting I’m biased in FAVOR of Crestron because I gave them some extra attention here (which they loved) or that I’m biased AGAINST Crestron because it’s impolite to suggest the use of a touchscreen as a Frisbee?

By the way, Jon, at least we agree on this: “These are the types of articles that do nothing to benefit our industry.”

This is the blog section and its pretty obvious the whole thing is a joke based on the fact that this thing is silly looking. The serious article is posted under the news section.

When manufacturers make ugly children.. someone has to tell them the truth.

I just love how blissfully unaware some people are.  Julie writes a fun article and Jon attacks here and accuses her of “spreading negativity around”.  Ah the irony.

Want to know what is really ironic?  If the people that slammed this article actually believed what they wrote, then they would “help” the industry by writing a serious article.  Why waste time complaining when you could be writing a good article yourself?  Or do these people just like complaining and/or can’t write articles.  Either way, shut up, all the editorial bashing is just stupid.

Great job Julie
reading you is always a pleasure for the brain and helps passionate people about AV and control to watch a step forward.
