Now that is a remote,with a price to match

It's a joke, right? Nearly ten big ones for a 17" touch-screen LCD TV with naffy on-board speakers and optional wireless? What's its purpose exactly, apart from a means to extract serious wonga from some rich suckers?

Am I missing something here?

No your not Tony,Check out some of the Projectors or in fact anything on the site!
Or this little lot!

I think that iPads (and their fast following brethren) with suitable apps will slay all these other options. Add a WiFi-to-IR gadget (they exist) and you're set. But eventually, all our HiFi and AV stuff will be WiFi enabled by default, and then you will only need one WiFi touchscreen. iPad is already brilliant at controlling iTunes.
