This is one of those philosophically baffling applications. An application that
ought to be included somewhere else, not in a hyper-expensive "remote control"
that amounts to a TV set in its own right.
The Internet TVs coming on line these days should, by all rights, incorporate
everyhting the iPad does in this TV remote role. And instead of having to touch
the screen with your own fingers, you just click a remote to push the "buttons"
on the TV screen.
Perhaps an IR-connected keyboard would also be available.
