CE Pro News Philips Pronto, the Philips division that used to make higher-end remote controls, is gone for good.

Philips announced last year that it was closing the division, but CE Pro learned afterward that efforts for a rescue efforts were afoot and almost certainly guaranteed.

Alas, the would-be acquirers were unable to close the deal with Philips.

We learned recently that it was a group of three European distributors who had tried to resurrect Philips.

Dear lurking member,
sorry, I'm rather sad and even upset about the way you announce this headline.
Perhaps you are not aware about the pain that this message will mean for many of us, that have developed thousends of hours in scripts and GUIs.
And if you would have read regularly the articles here, you would have seen that your "news" has been already posted.
So your "deadline" is not really a headline... even if you wanted so

Chris,

I agree with some of your sentiments. However, the title of this thread is likely related to the image posted at the bottom of the article.
