SWAMP05: can I have one ? -- Ok. But can I sponsor one ?? 

About the public release player (is it Gen1 ?) and user interfaces. I've
proposed having a few buttons on the box, and I am not alone. I saw
mention of presets, I like that too. 

Now, maybe this lot of buttons has implications on the way the board has
to be designed (besides cost). So while I am not totally sold on the
idea, I'd like to bring this 'thread on RFID control'
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?97891-Controlling-Squeezebox-equipment-by-RFID-(Blog-in-German-language))
of an SB system. 
I could envision a few useful RFID "cards" (given how the player naming
effort went, cards could well be garden gnome figures, we'll see…) that
could be placed on top of the player : pair with this player, kill your
wifi antenna, alarm on, use the kid's song library, enable (for-pay)
plugin xxxx…
And also, depending on future mainstream smartphones will soon be, if
tapping the player could suffice to bring a control app on screen,
perhaps the smartphone can start really competing with a dedicated
remote in terms of ease of use.
