Philips is telling their dealers that the color Pronto will have a bit more memory. They are also talking about adding some RF capability, like the Denon Atkis. That is, RF to a base unit that repeats IR. This feature may even be some sort of add-on to the 1000. No firm details. I've heard release dates as early as November and as late as February '01 for 'Pronto Mondo' (I like that one).
