SkipJam Corp., a leading provider of home media networking solutions, announced today SkipJam iMedia wired and wireless touch panels and RF remote Controls which allow complete control of all SkipJam iMedia home multimedia and appliances through an integrated simple to use menu. The SkipJam iMedia controllers also let users send voice pages and messages to any room or device in the home.
