Thanks Michael - that's very reassuring. I assume the PocketPC interface is fanstastic and way better than the couple of lines on the unit itself?
I can't speak for Telcanto. But I really like using the handheld skin: it's clean and easy to use even on those small devices. It's status page displays the currently played song together with album art etc. - much better than two lines of text. I even use it in my Opera's panel on the desktop. Give it a try - SlimServer is a free download.
BTW: if you want to get more out of the display's two lines, give my music info screensave a chance ;-).

No, you're right. The device only receives music streams over the net and sends signals from the IR remote back to the server. But everything is server-driven.

No idea, as I don't know Telcanto :-/. But usually response times are very quick. I often use the handheld skin with my pda's web browser. And selecting a song will play it immediately.
