The fact it is wider but not as long would make it much more comfortable for those with small hands. Obviously the colour buttons are in the wrong order but AFAIK the red button functions will still be done with the leftmost one in the row. I could do away with the USB keyboard too, which I like as a means to manage links and type search text but is a bit cumbersome for regular use.
We're quite lucky, as since the upgrade the TiVo can be controlled in more than one way. Here's the full list as I know it:
- Regular VM-branded long remote
- US TiVo Bluetooth slide remote with keyboard
- Regular USB keyboard or PS/2 keyboard with USB adapter
- TiVo Commander Android app
- Modified version of official US TiVo iPad/iPhone app
- Simple "Peanut" remote iPhone app
- Windows "VM TiVo Net Remote" beta, written by Andy Wheeler

Worth pointing out, that if you are using Andy Wheeler's app then you can use your PC/laptop keyboard for text entry
