New iPaq is also universal remote
Just announced: The latest iPaq handheld computer from the new HP will double as a universal remote control for various electronic devices and household appliances. The software that makes this possible is called Nevo. The iPaq Pocket PC H3900 series starts at $1,049. (Fortunately, it's much more than a remote control.)

Sony Clie owners already have this capability via built-in software called Remote Commander. If you have another type of Palm-powered handheld computer, you can turn it into a remote control with OmniRemote.
