Thing is, the touchscreen on the iPod / iPhone is way ahead of the pronto. Pronto also needs its own base station a la global cache to work properly (i.e. over RF) - i believe Airremote, would work out less if anything (and u get an iPod!)
No other remote can do any of the funky interface things an Apple device can. I've a friend who works at SMC in London (the guy behind airremote apparently owns this company) and i saw a demo of airremote last week - You can literally flick through channels! They had it operating their lighting system too...but the best was the DVD server, called Kaleidescape, because you'll be able to flick through your movies using cover flow. Not sure if that works for Apple TV, but that would be cool.

“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
