Hi Pippin, I think it's interesting to see the different ways people solve problems. I personally like the "I've selected something, now what should I do with it?" popup menu in Squidgy because someone can easily pick it up and use it as a remote without having to understand how it works.
The problem with "modes" in iPeng it that you need to understand what the modes do before you can use it. Modes are good for experienced users but a hurdle for new users. It doesn't help that the icons aren't that obvious, well + and > are OK but >| didn't mean much to me until I read help. My wife wouldn't be able to figure out the modal operation of iPeng on her own but she would be able to use Squidgy. I think you should consider making modal behaviour an option that users could turn on but make the default behaviour easier for new users. Also, in iPeng and Squeemote, how do you play Random Songs?
