I think the Onus is more on the PS3 to conform to traditional IR control methods, not on remotes to pander to the one unit that decided to use Bluetooth instead.
I'm keeping my eye on the VAVE100. It's a universal remote that will have Bluetooth. Not sure how it will compare to the Harmony though.
Anyway, there are ways around the PS3 issue. A lot of people buy the Blue Wave remote from Nyko (about $15). It comes with a USB IR receiver that you can then use to control the PS3. Unfortunately, no IR solution (that I know of) will currently allow you to turn on the PS3.

Bluetooth would be nice so it would work with the worlds most popular blu-ray player.

If you're referring to the PS3 you can buy an item for @$20 that'll allow you to control your PS3 w/the Harmony remote.
