If there was one gadget that I’d argue is the cornerstone of my home theatre setup, it’s not my 50-inch plasma or my AV receiver. It’s my Logitech Harmony Universal remote control. But after a week away, I came back to discover something horrific – my Harmony has disappeared!
Back in May when Logitech released the Harmony 600 on unwitting Australians everywhere, they promised that their colour-screen Harmony 650 would be following shortly. What we didn’t realise then was that the term “shortly” is a sliding scale, as the 650 has just hit Dick Smith stores, four months later.
Logitech’s Harmony remotes are among the most acclaimed, most popular programmable remotes in the industry. But in a forward-looking move, Logitech is turning Harmony into a free iPhone/iPod/Android app to work with their Google TV companion box.
Back in March, Logitech announced a couple of new Harmony remotes, the 600 and the 650, which both cost less than $US100. Well, the 600 has just been announced for Australia, and in an effort Futurama’s Hermes would be proud of, they’ve managed to limbo under the $100 price point here too.
It’s taken a few months, but the Australian arm of Logitech has finally announced the Australian availability of their 700 and 900 Harmony universal remotes. And they’ve been a little heavy handed on the Australian gadget tax as well…

Father’s Day is right around the corner and this year you should totally get your Dad a good present. But that doesn’t mean you should spend any money – Just come up with the best entry in our Logitech Harmony 1100i competition and give him that.
There was a time in my life when I thought my dad was king of gadget mountain. He always bought the best computers, the best stereo systems, the best cameras… But then something happened – technology sort of overtook his ability to understand it. Nowadays, hooking up his TV to his stereo requires tech support (me) to come visit. But I still reckon he’d be able to use the Logitech Harmony 1100i – that thing is pretty much idiot proof, once it’s setup…
