>From what I've seen so far SD have been very good at listening to what
their customers have been asking for on these forums and developing it.
I'm sure all these threads are being watched with interest.

For me the Controller was a response to everyone banging on about the
Sonos remote.  Same with the Boom - it came along because enough people
asked for it.

I'm sure that SD will be looking at iPeng et al with great interest
(not least because its once more killed off Sonos's USP). I agree that
there should be an official version and suspect that one could come in
time.

As to iPod/iPhone vs Controller I see these as very separate products
that can be made to overlap on functionality, but they cater to very
different markets.  I think the case for overlapping customer bases is
suspect at best - simple reason being if you're an "average" iPod user
then your first port of call for home audio will be a dock for the iPod
rather than a network audio player.

The main beef I have about the Controller is that its too expensive to
justify (for me). That's not to say that I don't think its a superb bit
of kit, but given the myriad of other ways I have of controlling my SB3
its just not worth it.  I'd rather spend the money on a Boom! 

I don't have an iPod either for similar reasons - its a cool bit of
kit, but the only reason I would buy one is because I needed a portable
MP3 player. My BlackBerry does this just fine (btw Flipside on the BB is
excellent since it scrobbles to Last.fm) and I got it "free" with my
job.  Again I'd rather spend my money on a Boom!

Can you guess what I want for Christmas??
