How cool is the Harmony 880 universal remote control by Logitech? For the money, I don’t think you can touch it with a stick. Let’s face it, all of us geeks have too much A/V equipment in our homes and the wife wants to crack us over the head with all of the remotes that we require to run it. The answer has always been there, a slick universal remote that has fully programmable macros so that we can hit one button and a sequence of 5 or 6 button pushes are simulated changing inputs, sources and lowering the lights. Unfortunately, in the past these remotes have been very expensive and trying to see if they will work for you was a dicey proposition.

Well, I was running through my RSS feeds this morning and noticed that Dell has a deal on the Harmony 880. So, I looked around to try and find a review. First of all, can someone tell CNet to stop clogging up all of the search engine results pages with BS reviews. I just went to their site, because it came up #2 on Google and watched a video of some editor at a trade show talking about the remote. That is cool, but there is no real info on what the remote can do. I did find a great review of the Harmony 880 at Digitaltrends however. So, if you are wondering what to get a geek for his or her birthday this year on July 29th, you might want to head over to SlickDeals and follow the instructions to get it for $99 at Dell.
