dcmorrow,

I agree, phones and pads are not great remotes, but the consumer views them as empowering. Why should the consumer pay $1000 or so for a piece of hardware when they already have a phone or pad? The hardware remote does only one thing, the phone or pad does many things. In this context the controller is "free". It's hard to convince a consumer that there is a better deal than "free".
