Malard would have that answer. But my guess is to keep the price down and to conserve battery life.

Back lit wasnt possible in this version, generally speaking, when your searching your probably not going to be in the movie at that point (at least thats how i looked at it)
Cost was almost certainly a factor, its already 'not cheap' and its got a stack of features that allow you to do things faster and easier, as i've stated already, searching is more ergonomic, to pull that off (which is lets face it the reason why we need a keyboard in the first place) not cheap to R&D
What do you find disappointing about the F keys?
PatK, its actually me (Pulse-Eight) that is accepting the pre-orders, Motorola is just building them for us, as we are short on electrical engineering man hours in the team (and a factory to make them) [Although donations welcome!]

That's pretty awesome. If I didn't already have a Harmony One I'd order one of those.

why not use glow keys then? I understand about the not using it while playing a movie.. however what about using it to check out the addons or search features etc.. this should of been a feature imo to be added. also would of been nice as to when you pic it up it lights up etc.. and set it down it turns off.
waiting to see a video on the remote to see the functions of it and how it interacts with xbmc. Currently I am using a MX-810 URC remote.
Can you teach the RF remote side of it also? My lights are URC lights and controlled by RF.

Can we get some real photos? I know this is a pre order, but even some engineering demos would be better than just the computer renders.
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xbmc_%`.* TO 'xbmc'@'%';

How is the universal setup? I can guess it's not going to be like Harmony remotes. Does it just clone key presses or will there be some sort of DB for codes?
Also how easy is it going to merge with XBMC? Plug and Play?
