If you are searching for a perfect remote control, take a look at the new Philips Pronto Series.
It includes a big touchscreen TFT, many useful firmkeys, can send IR commands, has build-in WiFi and can connect to RS232 by using an optional extender.
You can fully customize the remote control by using ProntoScript, that’s basically JavaScript/ECMAScript (ECMA262 & ECMA357 to be precise) with some API enhancements by Philips.
A very useful site for informations about the Pronto and ProntoScript (see the forum!) is http://www.remotecentral.com.
I’m sorry if this sounds like advertising, but I’m so excited about this gadget…
