What else the Palm can do isn't of concern when we're strictly talking remote controls and how they interact with users and home theaters (those extra features are bonuses). I have stated, in this very thread, "it offers excellent customization of screens for the money and would be an especially good choice for those who already own the handheld."

In terms of creating an elegant and family-friendly remote control, I don't believe it's the best solution under $200 for everyone. But since when is something perfect for everyone? As a note, I have not tried ORDesktop, so I cannot comment on it.
