    I got excited about this at first, but from what I can tell this is just a stock IR remote, the same kind you can buy at any big box store for $15.  Am I wrong?  What we need is a bluetooth remote similar to the SALT remote, which you can't get in American unless you want to pay $75 on ebay.  I definitely fall into the group of people who think that the AppleTV remote is one of the worst pieces of technology I've ever used.  Too bad since I really like the AppleTV.
    We're pretty sure that this is the Salt remote. We've got one incoming.
    At first glance, it appears almost identical except the six transport buttons at the bottom are labeled differently and/or are in different locations. Funtion101 specifically mentions "infrared" in their limited description, but not "Bluetooth". 
    I have a Salt remote. It's not bluetooth and has the same limitations as every other infrared remote (no home button)
