Tuesday, we posted the announcement of the Logitech Harmony 1000, and today I got my hands on a demo unit at CEDIA. With just cycling demo menus, it was not a full working version. However, it gave me a great feel for the device. My take: The unit has the weight to feel solid while being nicely balanced in my hands, plus the interface looks stellar. Logitech clearly spent the time to perfect user experience for the hard and soft button placement. Nice! The 1000 will not only use Harmony's excellent database of discrete IR codes, but also features a learning mode and can control lighting and other home automation controls with Z-Wave. Based on my short joy ride, it looks like Logitech's Harmony 1000 may be a winner. We'll do an in-depth as soon as Logitech can get us a review unit. Retail price of $499, October availability.
