Looks pretty cool, but can someone tell me how much this actually costs? The site is curiously devoid of any price-related information, and I'm a bit reluctant to install the software just to find out how much I'll need to shovel out of the old bank account to buy it. That said, have you used this? How does it compare to some of the related offerings from Nevo, etc.?

yeah, it's $33USD.
The thing that makes this software inhale deeply and rapidly is that it is a LEARNING remote.
You have to have the remote and then teach the program on your x50v.
I want something like Nevo that had all the stuff built in, it was really kewl to go to a waiting room with a TV and just punch in the brand of the TV and you pretty much had complete control over it.

Ouch, I'm all for the PocketPC being a do-it-all Swiss Army gadget, but a standalone learning remote costs less than this.

But not one with a VGA display, 624Mhz processor, 64M Ram, 128M ROM, SD and CF slots and the ability to connect to the internet to check the TV Guide web site to see if there is even anything worth watching 
P.S. I did browse through the site and found this

So it seems that you don't have to rely on having the actual remote and going through the tedious learning process. They should clarify that.

Hmmm... it's changed since I looked earlier - the effect of appearing on PPCT perhaps...?
