This is a product suggestion.
Why doesn't Slimdevices create a "deluxe remote" with a color screen,
jog shuttle, touch screen, something... that would more or less give
users the same experience you can get through Sonos?
It could work via Wi-Fi connection to Slimserver or IR to Squeezebox or
Transport (I suggest both, so as to be adaptable to customers'
configurations).
What do you think?
I'd pay $199 for it. Don't know it's enough to cover costs...
I bet you would pay that much... I'd buy just about anything at half-price, if only to resell it on ebay :) http://www.sonos.com/products/controller/features.htm
At this point, there is excellent support for using any of the wireless PDAs out there as a remote. Many users have posted that they do just this. For SDI to chose a specific one and market it as a Squeezebox remote seems like a bad idea to me, as most are more expensive than your price point, all offer features beyond the remote capability, and none are as easy to use as the Slimserver itself. My two cents.
