Lets compare:
Logitech Harmony

$399.00
Performs tasks related to the macro management of home entertainment gear with a three and a half inch capacitive display.

Phillips Pronto TSU9800
$1,695.00
6.4″ VGA display with optical rotary wheel and WiFi support. Capacitive touch screen display.

Phillips TSU9400
3.5 inch capacitive touch screen display. Works with Windows MCE!
$794.99

Apple iPad
$499.00 to $829.00
General purpose computing device. 3,500 dedicated and 150,000 compatible apps and counting.
I’d have no problem dropping $100 on a Logitech-made iPad remote control app. The only downside is that I know I’d have to buy two iPads so that I’d have one for control while my wife or I used the other to browse the web while watching TV.
