Logitech Harmony 700 universal remote looks familiar

It looks a lot like the Harmony One or the new Harmony 900 and the freshly announced Logitech Harmony 700 Remote only appears to be missing the touch screen found on its bigger brothers.

As we expected, the Harmony 700 retains most of the great features found in the One and 900 like a rechargeable battery, color screen (though smaller), and software-based setup for use with a PC or Mac.

Judging on looks alone, the 700 seems to be cut from the same cloth as the One and 900 but lacks a certain glossy finish found on the other two remotes. Also, the buttons seem a bit smaller as there's more space in between them.

The Harmony 700 is set to go on sale this month for $150. While we can't give our final take until we properly review the remote, it seems the extra cash you'd spend to upgrade to the Harmony One would be worth it--especially since the One can be found online for $180. Of course if it's RF you're looking for, the 900 is the way to go.
