Logitech Harmony 300 Universal Remote
Logitech promises to make their universal remotes even lower with the introductions of the Harmony 300 line, which can replace up to four buttons. It features a refreshed Web-based setup wherein users simply hook up the remote to the Internet via computer, include what devices the remote will be used for, and let the website do the rest. This setup also keeps your remote updated with every new IR device being introduced in the market.
The remote buttons are even grouped according to device. You can easily find where the buttons for the DVD are because they are grouped together. It also has programmable buttons that would lead your right to your favorite channels or other customized controls.
The Harmony 300 universal remote from Logitech will be on April at a suggested retail price of US$49.99.

ASUS Preparing One Google Tablet, One Windows
