I'd be more likely to get (and hide) a Transporter, and put the "free" SqueezeBox in a back room somewhere (or tote it out to the deck with some amp'd speakers, etc.), leaving no visible tuning aid in our main room. The nice thing about the device I mentioned in my first post is that it's relatively small, but even better, incredibly inexpensive (much less than the Sonos remote, anyway). With an onboard Linux or CE OS, a developer could do pretty amazing things with UI/functionality, particularly since it has tactile tracking (which is the main selling point of the iPod, etc., IMHO). Haven't tried the Nokia, but others report that it feels slow. I understand it's also using a web-based interface, which generally means compromises in functionality compared with a dedicated, optimized, fat client UI. If I'm wrong about this, let me know. -- Balthazar_B ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Balthazar_B's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7366 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27156 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
