I just tried the new Sonos remote, pretty damn awesome. Amazing it picks
up what you're pressing on the those tiny letters on the right hand
side. Certainly faster than my NAS as slimserver. Is there anything like
that for squeezebox, a larger screen and fast response? Maybe database
stored locally on the touchscreen so navigation is quick?

"But how is this really different in principle to the Sonos system
requiring third-party disk storage to be able to operate?"

I'm talking about the server side, it's not a custom OS but Mac
OS/Linux/Windows, with Slimserver ontop. As for communicating to the
storage unit that's over TCP/IP so no worries, I'm talking of possibly
problems with server itself, it's not a dedicated firmware designed from
the ground up. Much like Xbox 360, OS is just Windows not with it's own
operating system (ie Nintendo, Playstation 1)
