I'm in the process of setting up an N800 as a dedicated Squeezebox
remote. When (If!) I can get it working in kiosk mode to make it easier
for other family membersto pickup it will be perfect. It is pretty easy
as it is as I've downloaded the SB3 + remote icon from the products
homepage and all you have to do is click on the icon to load the
webpage and then press one button to make the page fullscreen.

I've also done a tiny bit of editing on the server side to turn the
drop down player select box into a display field and will eventually
set up a dedicated remote for each player by using
"/index.html?player=<name>" at the end of the squeezebox url. While it
does start to get a touch expensive buying one remote for each zone the
slimdevices solution is so much more configurable than the Sonus plus
I'm putting the players in place of a centrally wired Soundserver and
QED MusiQ system. The SB3s will sit hidden out of place in a home
cinema rack with the N800s as a discrete touchscreen remote next to the
speakers in each zone. I'm also thinking about installing a TCP/IP to IR
interface. Instead of just a zone controller it could form the basis of
a Smarthome control hub.
