Universal Remote reveals MX-6000 touchscreen remote with RF and WiFi

And you thought Universal Remote was done with just the MX-880 and the MX-450, didn't you? If so, you should really take a look at the MX-6000, a swank new touchscreen two-way remote that it's introducing at CEDIA. Designed for use in controlling one's home theater and home at large, the device puts the menu navigation on its own 4.3-inch (480 x 272 resolution) display rather than cluttering up your TV. You'll also find twin RF transmitters: 802.11b/g WiFi for network control, plus narrow-band RF for traditional control. Oh, and if you're looking to turn your iPod into your own personal AV service, the optional PSX-1 ($349) is just the ticket. Too bad the remote itself will set you back $1,499 when it ships this month.

this is one time that i agree with having bluetooth. For 1500, why wouldn't you expect it to control EVERYTHING and be truly UNIVERSAL

Really, if Bluetooth was the new thing for controlling Audio and Video hardware, how come SONY doesn't have a single device other then the PS3 using it??? Maybe because Sony was just to cheap to throw on a cheap IR port and just used what the PS3 already happen to have and then they could sell their own Remote to people. Why would any company in their right mind include Bluetooth support for a single device and have even higher prices. Few PS3 users would even buy this remote.

Sony is the one that screwed up. Maybe Sony could just pay someone to build a $20 RF/IR to bluetooth conversion box.
