While I do like feel of a dedicated remote, there is just no way the manufactures can compete with the phone manufactures in terms of hardware. So, I do see a time when we move to the phone as our remote.
I don't buy that we have to use our phone to control the trains. Yes, it might cost more if the manufacturer has to come up with a new version of the remote, and yes, we will likely have to pay it if we still want to stick with a physical remote. Not everything is suited for running on a phone. By it's nature, running with the phone is a two-handed affair, that doesn't leave a hand free for the beer!
You know what they say John. Where there’s a Will, there’s an Ale!
