Philips iPronto Remote Control

With DVD and HDTV consumers have more choices than ever before when it comes to home theater. But there are a lot of technological advances out there that make home theater much more simple to deal with. For example, remote controls. Everybody has more remote controls than they want on their coffee table. That's why companies like Philips are now doing technologically advanced multi-remote controls. The big daddy of them all is the iPronto. Its $1700, but this is the most technologically advanced remote we've seen yet. It’s wi-fi compatible which means it actually has wireless networking built right into it. You can even browse the Internet on your remote and it has stereo mp3 playback as well as being able to control every unit in the house. If $1700 is a bit much, the Pronto family includes a $200 model as well. www.philips.com
