Philips iPronto gets in on the action

Jon, a founding member of Remote Central, has sent in some pictures of PlayerPal on his Philips iPronto.  As you can see the SonyPSP skin looks fine but the BigBrowser skin is a little funky (to say the least) in the iPronto web browser.

The iPronto is described by Philips as "universal remote control panel".  Features include a touchscreen, WiFi web browsing, EPG and IR control.  Sounds good, but from what I have read the iPronto reality is not quite the same as the iPronto hype.

At around $1,495 new, the iPronto isn't an impulse buy.  However, if you have one kicking around you should give it a new lease of life with PlayerPal.  If I get my act together with some skinning tutorials you may even see an iPronto friendly skin appear (Jon is keen to do it!).
