I wonder if the dongle for that can be configured for use w/ a Logitech Harmony remote. If so, I'll get the remote (or just the dongle, if that's possible!)

It should work fine. I'm waiting for this to be able available in Canada so I can get it to program my Harmony 550. The ideal solution would be for Logitech to release a bluetooth+IR remote, but this will have to do until that happens.

I like the PS3 Bluetooth remote. It's hard adjusting when your so used to pointing at your devices with regular IR remotes. But i got used to it now.

The only thing I don't like is how it turns the PS3 on by pressing any button once. I have accidently turned it on many times. It's annoying some times.
I wish they would add an option to the PS3 remote to have it only turn on PS3 by holding down the PS button for 2 seconds. This would definately solve the problem.

I wish there was a button that would turn it OFF.

But I do love the Bluetooth remote. It's so cool, i think all remotes should use bluetooth. No more pointing at the device to get a good line-of-sight for the signal.

Well, it's IR... So yes. It can.

Now you can tell your PS3, "Is that a dongle I see, or are you just glad I'm playing with you?"

Ha ha, that's so funny.

Same thing happened to me. I had just got done explaining to my friend that the remote was bluetooth and didn't need direct line of sight...but then it wasn't working so I leaned really far over and pointed it directly at the PS3. My friend laughed at me for like 10 minutes.
