Cnet's Crave blog reports that Logitech has rolled out yet another member of its low-end 500 series of Harmony universal remotes, the 510. According to Cnet, the 510, which retails for $99.99 but is widely available for less, is similar in its control design to the 550 ($129.99 MSRP), but only controls five devices, versus 15 for the 550.Commenters at the Engadget blog have already spotted the 510 "in the wild" and have noted that the older 550 is less expensive at some stores and has a blue backlight (preferred by some to the 510's green backlight). Many users are noting that the Xbox 360-compatible Logitech Harmony remote is also a better deal than the 510, as it supports up to 12 devices (and you don't need to have an Xbox 360 to use it).Logitech's official web page for the Harmony 510 is here, and you can find all of the US-market models listed here.
Fans of under $100 universal remotes, time to speak up. Is newer better, or are you hunting for the 550 while you can still get it? Join us after the jump for your chance to chime in.

Logitech has unveiled the CES award winning Harmony One advanced universal remote control in India (finally). Offering the same one-touch, activity-based control as other Harmony remotes, the Harmony One has a full-color touch screen, an intuitive button layout and a comfortable user-friendly design."The Harmony advanced universal remotes have been highly successful at providing easy, one-touch access to favorite activities, such as watching TV, playing a video game, or listening to music - all with a single remote," said Subrotah Biswas, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Logitech. "To further improve our lineup, while developing Harmony One, we sought to intimately understand the interaction between people, their remotes, and their entertainment systems. In fact, Harmony One is the result of our most comprehensive research and development undertaking ever - more than 20,000 hours."One of the USPs is a 2.2-inch color touch screen using capacitive technology, which responds to tiny electrical charges from the fingertips. The color touch screen provides control of any home entertainment device with an infrared receiver, including digital video recorders, high-definition televisions and many household appliances. The Harmony One remote's touch screen can also display icons of specified TV stations for quick access to favorite stations. Besides it has the one touch activity control, online setup etc. The Harmony series online setup was not exactly too convenient in the past, lets hope it's faster now.
Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote Control is priced at Rs. 18,495 and is distributed by Rashi Peripherals in India. Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote Control has a replacement warranty of 2 yrs. Expect a review soon.
