In my opinion it's difficult to really compare
the two because there is still a rather huge
unknown with the Pronto, and that is the
capabilities of the support software are
unknown. With the HK, much of it's capability
arises with the PC interface. The Pronto
strikes me as having an advantage already
in that it can be configured in hand.

Personally, I think in the end, the Pronto will
appeal to someone who has been hankering for
a true touchpad controller and quality/clarity
brightness and graphics flexibility will play
an important role. I think the HK will appeal
to those wanting something a bit closer to the
tradtional remote, where the touchscreen is
more of a display and hardbuttons are used more.
That clickable wheel would seem to sway action
away from the touchscreen already.

I read that the HK is quite dim in comparison to
the Philips and I don't know if I like that
stanadard 5 X 4 button grid it uses. Reminds
me too much of Sony av2000 or that Rotel one.

I just have a hunch that the Pronto software
will allow more screen setup/design freedom.

Just my $0.02.
