a) agree

b) disagree. when the 2000 and the 3000 came out they reached the previous MRSP almost immediately (Philips tends to wait a bit until their stacks of old models are finished and the new ones are full)

c)disagree. The 7000 is a colored 3000, so chances are that the editor and firmware will be as good or better then the 3000. The 3000 and iPronto were the only ones that had this problem, and they were both totally new remotes that had nothing in common with the previous versions
