Yeah...I'd have to hold one in my hand. I think it's lacking a number of useful buttons for every day operation. I also disagree with the writer that the Harmony remotes would compete with this. They seem like different animals to me.

They did seem to give thought to some issues, though. I like that it turns off the side that's facing down. My first thought when I saw this was that if I accidentally hit the small number of buttons on the other side of my Boxee remote, I'd hit all kinds of keys on this one. I do wonder what kind of angle it would work on, though. I tend to type on my Boxee remote while reclining, making the remote practically vertical.

I can't tell if the buttons are backlit. I don't think I could get another remote with out a backlight.
