From the discussion on this topic, it might can be concluded that:
1. As a dedicated device, Pronto is the BEST universal remote control.
2. Palm Pilot can be manipulated for remote function. The current available software (OmniRemote) still lacks features and cosmetics (graphical icons). With a sophisticated software, it might outperform the Pronto.
3. Pronto is sold with too high price tag. The production cost should not higher than a Palm organizer. Below $150 is a reasonable price.
4. For people with low budget, it is better to wait for a better and cheaper remote control (Mosaic, below $100). The price of Palm is still high for someone who doesn't need an organizer.
