I too wish the hard button would work this way. I had a Pronto, until my baby son dropped it. The activities are cool, but the delay with some of my components make using the One a pain. Before, I could just toggle on the power and all would come on. Now I have to continue to point the One at the system to make sure all the components are on / off. When it misses one of the components, what a pain. It would be nice if it were more flexible or there was a way to configure any of the keys the way you wanted.
