It's not the unit's interface that's the problem. I used softsqueeze (ugh, java) for a week or so before the Roku got here. It's quirky, but it's not horribly difficult to figure out (the hardest part was the arrows to get around, I'm much more used to clicking "OK" to choose something, not hitting the right arrow). It's the server web software. It's painful. It feels like it was written in 2003 or something. The meta refreshes drive me nuts in IE with the clicking. I keep finding features I didn't know about (which is a good thing as there's lots of features), but they seem buried. I've seen some suggestions on here for an ajax-y web app similar to google maps, and I really think that if you were to take the time to build a good app, that a non techy person could use (even have a "party" mode that makes it super simple to control), you'd be way ahead of the game. The Sonos has it's weaknesses, but the controller is really what makes it awesome. Again, I'm a developer who does a lot of web apps (not websites, two very different things) for corporate clients. Been doing ajax since before it was ajax... Google has really upped the ante (and I'm happy since it's driving a lot of business :D) -- goofygrin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ goofygrin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4100 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21322 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
