TORONTO, Nov 24/08 - InnovationOne, maker of the CommandIR products for Linux, announces new 2009 retail pricing and the upcoming end-of-life for CommandIR Mini.

CommandIR II Black will be the 2009 Standard
2009 PricingLaunched in July 2008, CommandIR II was released in 2 form factors with 4 appearance options: Internal PCI, External Blue-Ice, External Black, and External Mountable Black.
The popularity of the CommandIR II Black product has led to it becoming the CommandIR standard in 2009, where the CommandIR II Blue Ice and Mountable Black models will no longer be produced. The functionality of the products are identical, so the standardization will simply lead to better pricing on the most popular model.

CommandIR Mini End of Life
Launched in January 2006 to solve the MythTV set-top-box control problems that plagued the then-slow media-PC's, CommandIR Mini is expected to reach end of life by January 2009.
The Mini is currently supported in the latest CommandIR drivers and will remain supported for the foreseeable future.
However CommandIR Mini production has finished and the product will be no longer sold once current inventories have sold out.
