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!).
