Wow! I can't believe this has been out for over a month and I missed it:

Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my keyboard here. This is a GORGEOUS device and given how much I adore my current Harmony, this would be an easy leap to make. The biggest selling pont I see so far would be the following:

The hurdle on this one would certainly be the price tag. It's $499, with $150 off at HighDef Lifestyle if you use the promo code H1000C. That's still a bit steep, but I'm certainly going to keep my eye on this thing and see how low the price goes over time.
