Nokia 770 does the following: 700x480(!) bright, backlit, beautiful resolution 802.11g/b/a WiFi Touchscreen Opera web browser sub $400 Nokia770 skin (6.5 only), does the following: Browse by cover art in two different methods Displays cover art and track info of song that is playing Enhanced playlist viewing/editing Ajax-enabled code for richer user experience (added yesterday) Support for Michael Herger's excellent Biography and Album Review plugins The Nokia 770 internet tablet is not without its shortcomings, but I thought I'd throw this in since your description is basically *exactly* what the 770 does today. FWIW, you can also stream slim directly to it and listen with headphones...(http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?SlimserverAndNokia770) cheers, #!/ben btw-- my vote, hands down, is for a portable squeezebox. I'd put AM/FM on it because that's probably cheap to do anyway, and makes it usable outside of your Slimserver WiFi range. Do a partnership with Sonic and integrate a T-amp, stick some decent speakers on it, fab a box for the thing, and call it done. I'd call it something like Squeeze!Boom!Box! or Squeezeboom. -- bklaas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21414 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
