UEI quietly retires its Nevo high-end remote line-- "reassessing" its product offering by stopping production.
The Nevo line was pretty much absent from UEI's booth. Nevo sales will only continue until existing inventory is exhausted.
According to a CEPro report, the Nevo sales force will be eliminated come April 1. It also mentions integrators are not to expect UEI coming back to the channel in the near future.
Alongside the Nevo closure, UEI now offers its universal remote API to other OEMs.
Nevo is the second casuality in universal remotes, following Philips' Pronto closure last year.
Both Philips and UEI deny the iPod and its ilk's effect their respective remote control businesses-- but Apple's devices do offer a relatively inexpensive and simple universal control solution. For customers, "just enough" appears to be exactly enough.
Go Nevo
