Bad news if you wanted the colour buttons, I'm afraid.
Here's a link (see below) about some answers from Logitech's
Remote Control Business Unit product manager Alex Zaliauskas.
It includes this:
"Zaliauskas confirmed the Harmony One is a global model,
there will not be a European model (previously designated
by a model number ending in 5). So if you were relying
on those programmable buttons, too bad - they're gone.
You'll have to use on screen buttons instead, which obviously
won't always be on the screen when you need them."
[Link: itwire.com]That guy's a jerk. If those are the only shortcomings of the "1", he really needs to get a life. He admitted Logitech is already working on the first issue. And, if you want colored buttons, buy a children's remote. I mean, come one, if that's what is preventing you from considering the "1", you really have issues. What's the purpose of the remote? I know the argument that colored buttons make it easier to find certain functions, but from what I see with the layout, it will be very intuitive. If you must rely on colors to find the proper buttons...my, my, my....you have other challenges.
