Anyone seen a review of the new one-for-all Kameleon?

It's reviewed on page 12 of the December issue of Stuff magazine (UK).

It's months away - perhaps a release before summer, 2003.

It's months away - perhaps a release before summer,
2003. That may be true for the Radio Shack variant here in the US, but it's on sale in the UK right now as the URC-8060 for 70 pounds sterling (~$115?)! [Link: dalepakdirect.com]A bit steep for the usual JP-1 price point, but it sure looks cool. Has any of the UK-based members seen/got one yet?

If you haven't seen the CEDIA 2002 video, there's a bit of it in there.

I got one last week, and it's superb for the money.
I use a pronto for my cinema room, but wanted something simpler for the living room.
It is a little bit bigger than i imagined it would be, but if all else fails at least i could use it as a cricket bat!
The display looks very good during the day, and even better in a dimmed room.
The remote is very responsive, with my equipment reacting instantly.
It comes with most codes built in, and internet and phone upgrade ability.
It even learns new codes from your existing remotes etc.
The button layout changes depeding on the equipment choice chosen. For example selecting a Sony DVD player may show a different button layout to a Toshiba DVD player.
You can also "scroll" through different pages of buttons per device.
I have not managed to catch it out yet with missing vital "icons/buttons". ie 16.9 aspect button or TV/AV toggle button.
Even if a "icon/button" is not available on the preset layout, there are 4 spare custom buttons for any use.
It also has macros and a volume "punch through" so volume control is not device dependent etc.
I'm not sure if the the buttons can be customised as to what appears. But their website has some sort of button request feature, so maybe you just email them and they sort it out for you etc.
Upgrading just involves holding the phone earpiece to the top-middle part of the remote.
The best feature is the vibration sensing back light. Just lift or move the remote and the back light comes on. Leave it for a few seconds and it fades off.
Mind you it also comes on if the sub starts shaking the room!

Have you tried any macros with it yet? How fast do they run?
I might be upgrading from the famed 15-1994 with JP1-interface, so the macros run almost instantly now. Id like to have something almost as fast out of the box, and the Kameleon just looks plain cool :)
Thanks!!

Is this a flat touch screen or are there some raised features that can be felt? One article I read mentioned "tactile feedback".

The link above states: Unique user feedback
The Electro-Luminous Display combines the
flexibility of a touch-screen with the push
button feel of a traditional remote control,
so you get the best of both worlds! Sounds interesting.... descentr

The word that I hear is that the Radio Shack version shoul dbe available in a few weeks here in the US, and there could well be an OFA version next year with extra features.
It doesn't have the 6-pin connector, because the remote is too thin, but it does have pads, so it should be JP1 compatible.
