Excellent points Andy When I read your post I looked into those apps and was disappointed as well. When I first bought a Plasma TV for my home theater I purchased a Harmony which I no longer use - its a battery hog and not as simple for the rest of the family as it needs to be in my case. I think for the Duet Logitech did a pretty fair job on the controller but compared to an I-touch we're talking another universe An I-pod app to make it into a stand alone universal remote sounds like a fantastic solution : ) E -- yesongs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ yesongs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21401 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
