Yes, a very expensive remote, but MAN does it do a whole lot more. Web browsing is its finest feature, but I have been streaming slimserver directly to the Nokia's audio player quite a bit lately and listening with headphones. It's not only poor-man's Sonos, it's poor-man's iPod! Well, at least until you leave wireless range ;) The 770 already has pretty nice video playback capabilities, but there's still some hurdles to overcome there. Ideally, there could be a video slimserver that you could use to select and stream to the Nokia in the same way as we do audio now...someday, perhaps, someday. wei Wrote: > What would make the web skin a dream is to support dynamic web page > update in the future.

I've been browsing through that code and have that feature as a TO-DO. While programming web pages in this manner is decidedly more involved than cranking out straight html with Template Toolkit, it will make the interface really shine. I even just ordered 'AJAX in action' to help beef up my skills in that area. For the record, browser page refreshes drive me NUTSO. cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19369 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
