Well, it's like an Android / iPod Touch that can run most apps. That price sounds about right, but you have to consider this is designed for RTI and Crestron dealers and is about the same price as a TSR-310 or T4X.
Crestron seems to have zero product available, and the 310s are impossible to get right now. RTI has a lot of stock, but this is geared towards the high end client looking for a minimalist remote. I think you underestimate how picky some of these people are with what they like to have sitting on their end tables. I'll never understand it, but I have seen it a hundred times.
Bust out a sample remote at a client meeting and the wife (or interior designer) says she doesn't want that thing on her table.
Personally, I want to run RTI on it, but I can also take it out to the party deck, connect directly to Bluetooth out there with this remote, and stream Pandora / Spotify direct. I can also use a URL scheme to jump directly to other apps like MyQ, Nest, etc..
I don't think the price will be a major issue for the higher end clients.
