It doesn't help if it's easy to use when I have it in the other room. Personally, I even find SBC a bit too big.
And, yes. I did have a SonyEricsson M600i phone for a few years and while that phone generally sucked, the keyboard was brilliant and I was able to enter text much faster than on any touch screen I've seen so far - and I have seen a few. Tactile feedback is worth a lot for typing! But typing is something I VERY rarely do on my remote so what the iPod touch offers is completely fine with me. I do admit that IMHO the perfect remote is not yet there (working on it :-) ) because it would have to have a touch screen AND hard keys for Play/Pause/Volume/Skip. The new LinkSys controller comes close, concept wise, although judging from forum comments one sees the implementation of that one destroys the concept. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58492 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
