>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!
