I thought I would start the Phillips bashing thread becasue I need to vent about this 2 pound paper weight. Nothing works, it's extremely expensive, and Phillips misleads in their advertising about the included options. There is no mention that the usb doesn't and probably never will work. There is no mention that the microphone is not connected. There is no mention that the browser is not capable of displaying anything but the simplest webpages. Nice idea. Poor implementation. I spoke to a representative at the CEDIA show who claimed it would be maintained and updated for the next couple years. Yeah right. When did the last software update come out? Oh I would want to overlook the MMC slot activation. MMC? Can you even buy those anymore? My advice is don't buy one of these rocks. I can say I wont be doing business with Phillips in the near future.

Agree! (koining your parade) ... what a piece of junk from a poorly run company with no intent of satisfying customers. I wish Philips would just refund my money so I could get anything else that WORKS!

The iPronto is dead. No one is taking the time to bash this piss poor remote. In fact anything that Phillips is involed with seems to be a piece of junk. After three years they can not make the simple things work let alone trying to get some of the promised items. P.O.S.

I'd have to say that with the advertising campaign you gave it, they're pretty high offers! ;)
