This would be a breakthrough device if nobody invented the smartphone. If I want a universal remote, why don't I just use the device I have to carry around with me all the time?

So your friends/family/whoever can use it if you're not there? So somebody else can use it while you are?

I have remote apps on my phone, but never use them. I'd much rather use my Logitech one (or even the one the device(s) came with if needed).

So sync to a server that stores your remote layout based on your wifi name/some other criteria?
