Replaces multiple home theater remotes with a single remote on your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad, Integration with iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad for home theater remote control is spot-on, Genres and show selection is a great feature for those that are looking for new shows to watch, Complete database of name brand home theater components and simple installation, setup, and configuration, Instantan
Line of sight for IR is a bit of a challenge if you don't have a place to put the Peel Fruit, Could use RF to integrate with out of sight components, Poor integration with iPad (uses iPod Touch and iPhone interface, ignoring the larger screen real estate),
Bold show-guide graphics and detailed synopses. Pushes content you might like to the foreground. Controls many devices, including Apple TV.

Intuitive setup, Recommendations, Can control multiple components, Provides most important remote controls,
No keypad controls, May still have to use "real" remote, Must have wireless router nearby

After a few days, we found ourselves using the Peel almost exclusively; instead of aimlessly scanning hundreds of channels to find a show we wanted, we were able to scan through only those programs that appealed to us. At the very least, it consolidate...

Only available for iPhone and iPod touch, Limited interaction with services like Netflix and DVRs,
