Looks terrible. The number one feature that everyone looks for in a remote is properly placed Play, Pause, Rewind, Fast Forward, Record, Skip Fwd, Skip Bwd buttons. Everything else is butter.
This remote doesn't seem to have any. Which means it is either sharing them with the cross pad, or uses the touch screen which is a horrific idea.
Huge pass on this remote. Everyone, and I mean everyone, needs to look at the Tivo remotes and model their after that.
yeah that thing is pretty ugly. the most important thing to remember for media center/high end AV equipment is style. this remote looks pretty beat.
also, $250? they locked themselves out of the mcpc market cuz theres no reason to get this over the logiteh dinovo edge mini ($120). to be competitive they gotta make this thing $100. otherwise, good luck philips.

“The other one is a biggie, and it's something very noticeable in the videos: touch sensitivity is pretty bad. Using the virtual keyboard proved to be far too painful, and we're pretty sure it wasn't multitouch-friendly.”

But it has "Red, Yellow, Green and Blue" buttons!
Seriously, no transport controls? What were they thinking?
