Ken,

I wouldn't call it small. The Harmony is noticeably smaller. Along the upper surface it's 9" long, 3" at it's widest (up by the screen), and 2 1/4 at the narrowest. The lower surface is roughly 8" long by 1 1/4 inch wide. The sides taper from the upper surface down to the lower surface. Not knowing the size of your wife's hands, I can't say if she would find it too large.

There is a SideKick MX-200 remote that works WITH the MX-700 (in the left hand menu, click on "Products," then "MX-200") . You can find it for as little as $50 here and elsewhere. Look at the MX Editor Programming Manual, and you'll see a photo of both on the cover. It is smaller and would be easier for your wife to use. Then you each could have your own remote.
