In comes the tablet as remote. Now, every time you buy a new

have high hopes for that either.
Yes you need to add a new app with a new appliance. But that APP can
be created by the appliance manufacturer to take advantage of every
feature; that app can be upgraded to add features; and the app is not
limited to a few buttons and a numeric keypad.
The other key is that the new appliance be intelligent enough to work
with other wireless devices. Infrared communications is archaic. WiFi
or Bluetooth are the emerging standard. Just looked at a 3D enabled
BluRay player that a friend bought. It has an ethernet port and Wi
Fi. This is where things are headed.
