Quite. With the native iPeng app is better than my Controller in almost
every way, the exceptions mainly being:

- availability of hardware buttons for track navigation and volume
- speed of notification on track changes etc (due to be fixed in iPeng
I believe)
- player functionality (hopefully to be addressed in iPeng at some
point)

The only real problem with the iPeng web based plugin was speed and the
native version fully addresses that issue*.

If I was in the market for a Squeezebox remote solution now I'd be
buying an iPod Touch and iPeng rather than a Squeezebox Controller. As
it is though I have the best of both worlds, with both a Controller and
an iPhone/iPeng.



* I took a Squeezebox Boom away with me over the weekend and plugged it
into the wifi network where we were staying. Not only did it happily
stream music from my home server several hundred miles away, but I also
used my iPhone+iPeng to control it, with iPeng also talking to the very
distant server. It worked perfectly and was still acceptably
responsive.
