Well, actually I don't think it's as simple as that.
I don't know, but I _think_ the driving force behind the "touch to play" decision was the touch screen I/F for the SB Touch. Having worked with these a bit I'm pretty convinced that the decision to have a "touch to play" behavior for Touch was the right one. You only have one "quick" selection option on a touch screen and you've got to use that for the use case most people will need most of the time. The decision which is debatable here is the one to value CONSISTENCY so high, that even the old interfaces (having dedicated play buttons) which would not have needed that behavior, adopt it anyhow. I believe for the IR remote it's the wrong choice. Controller might have been in between (I tend to not find the "play" button on that one, but maybe I'm just not using it often enough). -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67826 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
