Obviously it's not Mike that sets this price but Philips - I think they are having a laugh here.  I also think that this 700 quid does NOT include the RF "option".
 
<<If it doesn't then Philips are *REALLY* taking the piss! At about £140 the current 1Mb Pronto is a great price ... >>
 
I said exactly the same thing to mike about the iPAQ too.  You could buy a paqqy, a PCMCIA sleeve and a wireless LAN card and still have almost enough change for a microdrive!!
 
If someone is really wealthy then they'll buy a Crestron touch screen.  If someone's really poor (ME) they'll buy a standard Pronto.  I'm not really sure who a 700 quid remote is aimed at? 
 
<<Hopefully aimed squarely betweeen the eyes of the person that said "Of course it'll sell at £700...", I think this unit should be no more than £450!>>
