Pronto TSU6000 - best price $700... All you get is a remote.
iPronto - More than $1,200 a glorified remote that extends into the tablet pc arena.

My Axim X5 Advanced - 225 (ebay with 128 meg sd card)
pda-IR - 30
Software 14

I just saved over $300 and got a PDA, a system capable of GPS, a home automation controler, a tv controler, and a new best friend.

My old remote had over 50 buttons on it. My wife couldn't make heads nor tales of the thing. My Axim now has three buttons, one says tv, one says dvd, and the other (I don't know why) says VCR. After inserting the movie of her choice, she needs only hit DVD or VCR and the remote does all the rest.

It comes down to cost savings. I was about to buy a pronto when I came accross www.remotecentral.com. That's where I found pdaWin. I cancelled my pronto order and found my Ax on Ebay... Life is goood.
