Voted, and looks like your going to win at this point...
So what program were you thinking for controlling your media on the Ipad.
I have Philips Pronto's for all my stuff in both systems, but I still need to control the PCH-200 for streaming music. I want to be able to have interactive feedback to pick songs with my Iphone, not worried about volume or anything like that...
The Ipads are pretty cool, and will make great products for HT control, wonder if they have a IR device that sits on the network.... that would be perfect.
