This is the antithesis of the iPhone simplicity interface, and therefore, I reject it. Remote controls need to work like the iPhone, and get away from having 5 billion buttons on the screen.
It can be so much better than this. I think Logitech could benefit more from the iphone interface than any other company-- cell phone manufacturer, or otherwise.
i disagree, the point of a good remote is NOT having to look at it to use it, for that you need hard buttons, not touch screen, plus then you'd have that huge screen lighting up when your watching a movie every time you want to adjust the volume or anything, not to mention the greater battery drain... frankly i'm sick of the whole 'everything should be like the iphone' bandwagon fanboyism thats going on (not specifically you, but a broad generalization) yes, touch screens are good for some devices, but not all

No, TV Remotes do not need to be like the iPhone. The only thing this thing needs is bluetooth.
