Hat tip to the people at

Frontier Tranzport
From Peter Kirn at
createdigitalmusic:
bq. Pro audio has been slow to go wireless, which is why the Tranzport, the first-ever wireless remote for DAWs, is very good news. The device from Frontier Electronics is due early in 2005 and will work out-of-the-box with your DAW software of choice, including SONAR, DP, Cubase, Logic, and Pro Tools. (I'm holding out for Ableton Live -- stay tuned.) The 1-lb. device covers all the basic recording features you'll need: there are transport controls, a big shuttle jog wheel, track arming and punch-in features, and even looping settings. Live LCD feedback from your DAW shows you the status of the active track. With a range over 30 ft., that means you can record wherever you like and run the DAW remotely. (You could even have an unmanned control room!)
bq. Now the good news: the device runs on 4 AAA batteries and will list for just US$249. Plug the included USB tranceiver into your host computer and you're done. Frontier designed the Tascam control surfaces, so quality should be good; stay tuned here for the latest.
Runs with both Windows and MAC applications including my fave - Sonar
