The iPronto only has three applications right
now: remote, web browser and EPG. Anything you
do would have to be done through a web page.
It sounds a bit limited for $1699, i already have a pronto (1st gen) thats almost 4 now and want to replace it with an ultimate, i thought the ipronto would be it but it seems like a remote with internet. Nice but would be better if they did more with it. Don't mind the price if it does the job.
I really can't get exited about the EPG, it probably won't be compatible with tivo anyway. At $1699 they are aiming at the specialist user market that have probably got £25K+ systems to control including the computer, jukebox, 400disc changer and x10 systems.
I have said it before and i'll say it again the Symfony with infra red and home customisation, come on philips. Lets make things better!
