Unfortunately the Pronto and Harmony models are completely out in this department. The Nevo is WiFi and as far as I recall should support uPnP. In addition you can look at the *'Philips RC9800i' (http://www.homecontrol.philips.com/)* which provides a tablet layout closer to the unit for Sonos. When I finally get my SB I think I'd like something like this as well. I've been looking at the Nokia 770 but haven't done enough research into user-experiences. But I suspect it can't be any faster than using the 770 skin through a standard browser on my PowerBook, which is a mixed bag. The SONOS definitely has a slick hand-held remote with a slick interface on top of a solid piece of hardware. Unfortunately that's where it ends for that device. I wasn't going to settle for a device where I didn't have a unit that could stay in a fixed location with its own display. Marying the two conceps seems like a natural fit and I'm sure it's something we'll see explored by Logitech in the future. In the meantime I can't offer a concrete solution. If the SONOS units were using standard WiFi perhaps they'd be hackable to work with Slimserver. I recal they use their own network though, don't they?
