I think it's a bit inaccurate to say that the Palm Pilot "does everything the Pronto can do". More accurately, "it does everything a learning universal remote control can do". There's a difference there. If you're wondering what it is, just take a look at a few CCF files. :-)

It's more comparable functionally to the RM-AV2000 or RR990, but less pleasant to use. Yes, it has the capability to do a lot more than dedicated remote - but do you really want your remote control to balance your accounts?
