I use this V210 below, Actually have 3 of them. I purchased all the tablets for under $300. A single tablet can run between 50 to 300 depending on the day, but these tablets when new were about 2k.
I built a webaddon using Dreamweaver, which I did post for everyone who wants it.
There are deals on ebay which include IR software, Card and the tablet. I saw an auction the other day and it sold for 75 bucks with IR card and software.
I personally do not use IR/RF I am over this tech and its old school to me plus lets not talk about the distance limitations. All is controlled via wifi and tv and amp control is done using a webserver in eventghost. This allows me to control the tv, amp, and pc through wifi as well as design my own icons and buttons that I want and need. It is very very easy to setup a page just to control XBMC. Also I can control all of the XBMC clients in the house with one tablet, or from any of the three in the house.
I know some will snicker, but Id rather have something like this than a remote ir control that costs 300 and it still has issues or is a pain to setup.
Look at my home automation posts and you will see the custom pages I built for my home. IMO I would never go back to a standard or universal remote....
