How come colors are so horrible on shows like these, including Jay Leno, Letterman and all the other american (specifically late night) talk shows? Cheap cameras? Is it on purpose?

Won't people ever think before commenting?
My only gripe with this is that the hardware is so ugly. It looks like it was made by Joytech.

You can use the Logitech PS3 Harmony adapter with RedEye to control the PS3.
@rcappo

It has. You can learn commands from the original remote.

No, you haven't. The E71's IR port isn't "universal", which means it's too weak to properly control stuff from far away. Also, it doesn't allow for multiroom controlling, activity based setups or touch screen control.

It's like saying "I've been cooking coffee on my stove since the 70s" when somebody releases a fully automated espresso machine. In other words, pretty stupid.

The problem is that Logitech Harmony remotes are really a pain to use. They have none of the iPhone OS slickness, especially not the full touchscreen Harmonys like the 1000 and 1100. They both suck and I regret my purchase of the H1000. Also, they are around $500 and the IR-RF receiver is an additional $100 or so. At least in Europe.

Just enter the RedEye application and change the channel. But we're likely males, so we can't do this anyway.
Um, no they haven't. No Palm OS, Windows Mobile or Symbian device have ever had this functionality.

I used to control my TV with a Sony Ericsson P910 and a Palm Tungsten T3, both of which sucked at it. Sony's Clié devices were somewhat better because they had universal IR ports (i.e. much stronger blasters), but they still required line of sight and the concept of activity based remote controlling weren't around at the time. Because of the IR only functionality, neither could control devices in other rooms, let alone allow for multi-room functionality.

So guys, this comparison is just ludicrous.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
