ditto for me. I'd love a graphical remote so I could browse album art when picking music. What might work is a native app for Windows PDAs so that you could talk to SlimServer directly using IR through the SB instead of going through the slow web interface. Does the SS API extend to allowing downloading of album art? Is there an IR API that lets you talk direct to the Server? What would be good would be a pass through call that just takes IR data and pushes it straight through to the server so that you can use the SB as a WiFi/IR bridge. You wouldn't need massive changes to the firmware then, just the bridging code.
