Dear Neil,
Although not as versatile as the Pronto there are some similar IR learning
devices produced by hi-fi manufacturers, for example Cambridge Audio's M1

Subject: Pronto Remote Control
Dear All,
Does anybody have experience with the Pronto remote control from Philips.
This is what Innovations says about it:
"The Philips Pronto doesn't just stand in for a few other remote controls
like ordinary universals. The 2MB Pronto replaces your infrared handsets
from TV and VCR to home automation products. Its full-size touchscreen and
intuitive menu-driven interface make it incredibly easy to use; you can just
dive in and explore its functions! Pronto already knows lots of command
codes, but you can make it learn more by transmitting IR signals from other
handsets into its 'learning eye'. It's also completely customisable and
programmable, either by manual touchscreen inputting or via your computer
(download software from Philips then connect Pronto to to PC using serial
cable supplied).
You can add devices and functions, relabel buttons, record your own
one-touch macro command sequences, set timers, even personalise the screen.
Uses 4 x AA batteries (included).
14 x 9 x 3cm. "This touchscreen remote is simply awesome..."

Are there equivalent device that people have seen or used?
