The buttons are small and hard to see and you have to look at it (I mean like study them) to navigate it. There are a number of nice touch screen remotes on the higher end market, but what would make a larger impact would be something more like a wii mote. Using a point and click interface and maybe very basic movement gestures to control some other minor functions. I’m seeing something like the ps3 home screen and the wii navigation ability in the future.
