Logitech Harmony 1000 review roundup

Harmongy 1000
The Harmony line for Logitech has continued to please, and based on the reviews of the latest addition to the family, the 1000 is no different. The reviews raved about the performance for the price and we can see why: $499 for a touch screen remote certainly sets it apart from its competitors. Remote Shoppe points out that the Harmony 1000 is also much easier to program than other touch screen remotes and that Photoshop skills are not required to produce a great looking interface, but while the Harmony 1000 is easy to program, it also isn't as customizable as those other touch screen remotes. CNET warns that if you are used to a wand style remote, that the horizontal nature of the Harmony 1000 takes some getting used to. The worst part seems to be battery life, CNET forgot to dock it one night, only to find it was dead the next day when they were ready to use it.

Mac Blu-ray burner adds Toast 7, slips to mid-August


The Logitec LBD-A2FU2/WM Blu-ray burner for Macs & PCs has unfortunately been delayed again until mid-August, but they've shown off the box for the external edition and announced it will ship with Roxio's Toast 7 Titanium. All the delays should give you sufficient time to scrape together the $1100 or so dollars you'll need to take one of these home. What we really want to know is if that price includes some playback software, unlike Sony's BWU-100A drive.
