    Seriously the best thing I've ever seen on Dragons' Den. All rights go to the BBC. See my channel for part 2.

    As soon as I saw them demonstrate the product, I knew the Dragon's would invest. For quality of pitches, this is the benchmark. Great product, right for the time, great markups, units already sold, good delivery, advertised in a magazine seen by 600 million passengers per year and they only needed Dragon's money to INCREASE their sales projections. The Dragon's were putty in their hands. As it turned out they were so successful with the product, they later politely turned down Duncan's deal.

    I have one of these. I think you misunderstand how it works. You program a signal to each of the gestures. It doesn't matter if there are two gadgets close to each other...the wand is only sending out one signal, and only one of the devices will respond to it (ie. when I use it to turn my TV on, it doesn't affect my cable box and vice versa). Also, you can program whatever controls you want to it. I'm not sure why you think it can only have play, stop, and skip.
