What I'd really like to see is for Logitech to subsume the Controller into a next-generation Harmony. I think this would be a great product for them.
1. Logitech has brand-equity in universal remotes. It's ridiculous to have to use one remote to optimally control your Receiver and another to control your stereo (or Logitech-powered speakers). 2. It could have a bigger screen for navigating the Squeezebox 3. Everyone still needs a universal remote with all the IR-controlled devices they have, so their is still a need for a Harmony-like product. 4. More and more consumer devices are controlled over the home LAN, so the great wifi-capability of the Squeezebox controller is almost a necessity for any Harmony successor 5. Having a headphone jack on the controller is of some utility for the Squeezebox, but it's great for other devices. For example, if you are streaming a movie in your bedroom TV/PC/Revue and your wife is trying to go to sleep, just plug a headphone into the controller, which has Squeezeplay to listen without disturbing her. Obviously the device would need to be able to send the audio over the network, but that doesn't seem impossible. This is a little different than watching the video on your iPhone. -- mps ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mps's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36351 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84894 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
