Philips reveals successor to the Pronto TSU2000 – part 1!
Waiting for a Pronto remote with more hard buttons? You may not have to wait much longer! Philips is revamping the black and white TSU2000 remote as a new model – the TSU3000, which will be shown later this month at CEDIA 2002. Although it has not yet been officially announced, I’m pleased to present a few tantalizing details on the new model:

LCD touchscreen with 16 grey shades
4mb memory
USB communications
19 hard buttons
Backlighting for the screen and all hard buttons.
Note that the photo shown does not fully represent the finished product – some minor color changes will still be made. Additional details on this remote will follow tomorrow!

I'm going to seriously look into this one when it comes out next spring...the addition of the bottom hard buttons and a much lower price then the Pronto Pro should make this a great bargin.

I saw this one when I was looking for remote, but I decided to go with the 2000. Now my computer at home has dropped a power supply, so no programming for me now .... :evil:

Any pricing estimates? I'd like to upgrade my RU890

early reports are that it will be in line with the current TSU2000 prices and should be available shortly in the new year
