Would be cool if there was an iPad application that emulated the pronto in capabilities (and the ability to program). That combined with some type of extenders (like the RFX9600) to integrate with your various components as well as direct network control since more and more components are networked these days. Maybe that is where we are headed. However, for now, my Prontos still work great and I'm still sad (especially for the employees who have really put so much into the products over the years)..... SJ
