I really like the slimserver web interface, but don't always have a laptop on or near my Squeezebox. I find the remote control/LED display method of queuing songs functional, but a bit clunky.
To that end, I've been searching for a reasonably-priced device that was "a little more than a PDA and a little less than a PC". I had a few requirements in mind-- runs a web browser, has a touchscreen, almost-instantaneous bootup, and won't make me squint at an ultra-teeny display. this device that Nokia just announced looks like the closest thing to date: http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphones/nokia/nokia-770-internet-appliance-104893.php http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=1376 pros: runs embedded linux, looks to be < $350, >4" display, touchscreen, quick boot cons: comes loaded with Opera as a web browser (major bummer) Has anyone found a similar niche device that looks like it fits this bill? (if you use your TV or a PDA or a Cell Phone to control your Squeezeboxen, good for you, but that's not what I'm shooting for) I gave the PepperPad a look (way too expensive), and have considered ViewSonic AirDisplays (big, Microsoft-shackled). cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
