Only for the initial setup (and the occasional reconfig) - and for
many devices this is common.  The first thing I did when I installed
my squeezebox is download the latest slimserver and firmware.

True - this would be nice, although I've never had a problem getting
to Logitech's servers.  I can't think of any time that I've actually
needed a locally saved profile.

Actually, the remote works fine 99.9% of the time without a network
connection... it's just when you want to reconfigure it that a web
connection is needed.  And for my money, the added benefit of all the
user-contributed profiles is well worth the requirement of online
configuration.
