I am not at all sure I like what it has done to my controllers. The
controller interface is now quite ugly and ungainly and they don't work
in the same way. The web interface is quicker though.

I think 7.4 is aimed mostly at at the new touch screen devices and
increasing code conformity across the product range. My guess is it has
also been rushed out to support the release of SqueezeRadio. 

The controllers seem to have been forgotten about. The clocks are ugly,
the backgrounds dull, the action of the play and center buttons is
confusing and the controllers small screen cluttered with useless icons.
The "My Apps and "App Gallery" take up too much home menu (and seems
like a daft idea anyway, possibly proposed by someone from marketing who
would have preferred to work for Apple), and the alarm does not accept
playlists that use the BBC iPlayer streams.

Personally I'd not upgrade to 7.4 unless you really needed to, were
buying a Squeeze Radio or really like pain. I certainly wouldn't have
done if I'd known what it was going to do to my controllers.

If it has been rushed out for the Radio then it is to be hoped that
Logitec will now concentrate on getting 7.4 to work nicely on the other
devices. Maybe the software will be OK by 7.4.2.

Think the third party Squeeze plugins and applets are important?
Then 'vote for bug 14194'
(http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14194) so more can be
made.
