Your request isn't unreasonable, but your argument is. Hyperbole
doesn't help your cause. Your first point about needing to ssh into
"ANY" of the SB devices is simply wrong. Static IPs are easily set
directly on the player menus of SB2, SB3/Classic, and Boom. They are
probably settable on SliMP3, SB1, and TP as well, but I don't know for
certain. On your latter point, it seems you've never stumbled onto a
Palm Pilot or Blackberry. 

For me the various methods currently available for setting a static IP
are perfectly adequate -- even on the SBR, SBC, Radio, and Touch. I can
see how some people would want it to be easier, but I can also think of
enhancements that I believe deserve higher priority.
