Why not? The controller has much more expensive components in it than the receiver. Displays and buttons are not cheap items for any device. Both have wifi radios, both have memory, but the controller has a color display and buttons. People think buttons are cheap, but they are actually rather pricey little things, particularly if you get quality ones. Pricey as in relative to other parts of the device. Cases are also another expensive component in any electric device that most people overlook. Also why is this announcement getting so much flak? I think it is a great deal, much cheaper than the competitors and I bet will offer more configurations. For those that think $300 for a remote is high then this is not the device for you, for many people into AV gear $300 for a remote is not bad, particularly a network capable remote. So much more you can do with a network capable remote. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41805 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
