Sorry, but that's not true. The BB development environment is just fine - the device is running an excellent JVM and you can develop applications easily using the Eclipse plugin. In addition BB now has App World for easy deployment of applications. Personally I think the latest devices could make an excellent platform for a remote, but I'm not convinced that there is sufficient demand for it to warrent the development effort. Historically BlackBerry devices have been corporate hand outs - this is changing and BB is certainly much more popular in the consumer space than before so in time that may change. But even then the combination of: -Compatible BB -Squeezebox User -Actually wants a BB Controller App seems a small niche at best! In addition the only way to connect to SqueezeboxServer would be when on your home Wi-Fi with a direct TCP/IP connection (unless you exposed your server to the internet). I understand that iPeng has been a success on Apple, but that has 2 user bases to target in iPhone and iPod Touch and I suspect that the iPod Touch makes up the majority of iPeng users (just a hunch - nothing to back that statement up!). -- Browny http://www.last.fm/user/BrownySV/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Browny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2295 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77702 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
