Sony introduces voice-controlled Google TV remote

Sony's NSZ-GS7 Google TV box didn't hugely impress us last year, but a new accessory could breathe some life into it. The company has announced the new NSG-MR7U remote, of which the headline feature is a microphone that allows for voice-activated commands. Otherwise it sounds similar to the existing Sony Google TV remotes, with a backlit QWERTY keyboard on one side and a trackpad on the other. We'll make sure to check out how the new remote improves — or otherwise — Sony's Google TV implementation later in the week.
