I have to agree with the display in the remote concept. But I'll do you one better:
Leave the squeezebox pretty much the way it is (except for possibly better DRM support). Have your current remote (more or less). Also, have a fancy new remote that includes a display similar to the squeezeboex display. To make that work, of course, you need the remote to be a wireless-g/b remote talking to SlimServer. Now suddenly your remote can work without IR, the squeezebox can be in the closet with your audio gear, your remote can easily switch between controlling the many different squeezeboxes within your house and you've got a convenient one-stop shopping audio controller. The probelm is that nobody will want to stop there -- they'll want to turn the remote into a web browsing camera phone with a color touch screen which runs its batteries down every two hours. Sigh. But if you can avoid the bloat, you'll be able to sell the fancy remote for less than the cost of the squeezebox, and people will actually buy it. -- Tarn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tarn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7414 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30399 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
