Album Review is a third party plugin developed by Michael that gets
album reviews from internet sources and displays them. It works
perfectly for me with SqueezePad but I haven't seen any external links
in it in the quick checks I've tested. I'm using the beta you sent me
and not the official 1.2.0.
I suppose the review text could contain external links but I'm not sure
I'd like them to be opened in an external web browser, at least not
until the iPad supports iOS4 with multi tasking so it don't have to
kill the SqueezePad application when opening the external link.
Compared to all the other stuff which have been mentioned, I think this
should have a bit lower priority since it currently works even better
than on the Squeezebox Touch due to the larger iPad screen.

I'll make sure Logitech have a registered enhancement request regarding
this since the same problem exists in SqueezePlay.

If people think playlist management is important, so you decided to
prioritize this, you should probably not rely on the standard
SqueezePlay menus for playlists. The reason is that if the playlist
management ever gets implemented by Logitech I suspect the SqueezePlay
implementation might get less user friendly since they have to restrict
themselves to a solution that also works good on the Radio and
Controller and works good on the smaller Touch screen. With the large
iPad screen I think it would be possible to accomplish something
better.
