All very nice, but the Euro "One for All" company is quite different from the USA one. Euro products rarely make it to the US, and seem to be embargoed against shipment here.
This remote aint no supercomputer with secret compression algorithms to prevent its release in the USA. Logitech and Philips remotes come over to the USA no problem, and if it's a promising product, then this remote will come stateside too.
Sadly you might be right, Murphy. I just checked the Euro portion of the company's website and they have some slick stuff on there. But then I moused over to the U.S. side and saw the 90's inspired craptasticness that we're stuck with.
In the past I've tried to get their stuff sent to the US from, say, Amazon.co.uk. Sadly it is marked as "UK addresses only."
It's not state secrets we're talking about, but that the Universal Electronics owns the brand in North America, and One4All International owns it elsewhere. They do share some stuff, but UEC is more interested in the very low end and OEM markets (cable, radio shack, etc).
