Thoughts on the concept?, I like it, the single flexible interface to control the player and anything else and it's your PDA, It's definitely the future. The real question is where do you put the processing power and how do you interface, too much power in the PDA and it'll be huge, not enough and you'll duplicate the local boxes. It's all a bit too esoteric.
I love the idea of wireless, I suspect that bluetooth (ignoring the current standards debacle) will be the future standard for this type of local peer to peer control. Again without trying to jump on the latest 'technology bandwagon' a SOAP interface could be the future of connecting box A to box B, with Java being so strong even the millions of marketing $ that MS will chuck at .NET I don't think that'll derail the open standards.
I personally took the easy way out and have an all in one solution, I've even chickened out on wireless lan as I don't want to spend £200 (as I don't have a base station).
Enough babble...........
