In reply to:
I havent seen the 3000 yet though. I had thought about getting one of those but decided to go with a remote with hard buttons so I could change channels and stuff without having to look at it.
That's the point of the 3000. It offers five hard buttons on the right of the screen for channel +/-, volume +/- and mute by default, one on the left to light the screen and two on the left to scroll through pages, a large directional pad in the middle below the screen and four buttons around that with icons that are easy to identify for your fingers. The screen itself is also closer to blue than any other "blue touchscreen" I've seen (all of which are invariably green).
Of course, it's also a good $100 more BEFORE you buy the docking cradle.
