The “Panasonic Remote” is a new style of desktop widget that sits on your desktop but doesn't require a browser to operate. The widget is called an Adobe AIR™ Application (AIR™ App.) and uses the Adobe AIR™ Runtime to work. In order for the Panasonic Remote to receive current information your computer needs to be connected to the internet and with this in place the data is updated to the AIR App. regularly.
The “Panasonic Remote” AIR™ App.s primary objective is to give users a dynamic information mechanism that allows them to keep up with events at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. In conjunction with the Official Online Broadcaster of Beijing 2008 we have created a simple tool to give you access to current information.
You will find links to the Fanatic Videos on the Yahoo!7 website, also the daily viewing schedule for Channel 7 and SBS with links back to the main Yahoo!7 and SBS viewing guides for more in-depth information. This is great for setting your DVD or Blu-ray recorder so you don't miss out on any of the action. There will also be current news items and a medal tally within the Panasonic Remote that will be updated regularly.
Additionally links to the Panasonic Olympic Ambassadors pages with content from Ky Hurst, Bronte Barratt and Tamsyn Lewis, will be added to the AIR™ App via an update to give you direct access to this and other content.
When you have finished you can minimise the Remote to take up less of your desktop or close it until next time.
