I also have been looking to find a remote that combines the regular home theater remote stuff with some type of visual browsing access to the Squeezebox. As far as I can tell there are really only two options:
1) PDA running Nevo imbedded Pros: decent price point ($300), decent Slim functionality Cons: Nevo is not that great of a remote software; zero integration, have to leave Nevo to open IE for Squeeze functions; questionable IR performance; in this case I would probably use the PDA for squeeze and pick up a Harmony 890 for HT stuff. 2) AMX or Creston touch panel Pros: Great integration, big touchscreen, Cons: Very expensive ($4,000-8,000), requires some level of dealer configuration I am going to wait until a better option shows up. I have my eye on a couple of upcoming remotes that may do a better job.
