I have to agree that the Palm makes an excellent universal remote- as good as thw H/K Take Control. I had the the H/K and though it was great, though bulky and akward. Now I realize that I was just happy not to have my coffee table cluttered by six remotes. I have a Palm III and I downloaded and tried PacificNeotek's trial OmniRemote software. Its true that the internal IR was weak, but also I didn't want to leave my palm in the living room. So I bought a used Palm Pro for about $50 and I bought the IR module from PacificNeotek that clicks into Palms without internal IR. This IR works much further than the palm IR- all the way across my living room. For a total expenditure of $90 ($50 for Palm Pro, and $40 for Omniremote software and IR module), Ihave a true learning, programmable, universal remote that does everything the H/K does. Plus all the other many things that a palm can do. I highly recommend trying this route before plonking down $300 -$400 for a Pronto or H/K Take Control.
