The Logitech 800 qwerty is said to be released in June and has the potential to be the best keyboard/remote for the HTPC user.

My remote has been dropped a few to many times and I am having to hit a button 2 or 3 times sometimes. I know I will grab one.

Might be hard to hold?

Holding the keyboard... the remote part makes it top heavy?

That thing is going to run like $150 msrp....not sure it's worth it when my Harmony 300 was $30 and I could get a small wireless keyboard/trackpad thing for around that much as well. yeah, it's 2 devices, but most often if you're going to surf the net on your htpc, you won't need to play/pause your movies....
