I just noticed the news article on the left sidebar here... Logitech is selling the Harmony business. Looks like universal remotes are a dying product. This is crazy.
It may not be issues with the remote business, this may be a more successful division and one of the easier ways for Logitech to raise cash.
But they may also feel that there is no future in the remote business.
Now I wouldn't want to use my iPod touch as my main remote but the MSRP of an iPod Touch is $50 less than the MSRP of the Harmony Touch. Maybe the days of consumers paying >$150 for remotes is gone, especially since everyone has a smartphone and devices are moving to IP control from IR.
