Jeff, I have both, and I actually end up using the SqueezeBox with its original remote the most often. When I am sitting at my Mac or PC, I tend to use the Nokia skin or slimfx and sometimes Moose on the PC. The Nokia tablets are great, and Ben has done a brilliant job with the Nokia skin. However I still see the Nokia tablets as geek toys, and as a practical matter, to have the Nokia tablet always on, charged, connected to the WiFi network, with opera open at the right page is a bit of a pain. If you are just looking to play or change your music - this can be a bit awkward. In that case the Sonos would be a better bet, even though I find the controller far more sluggish than the SqueezeBox IR remotes. This topic has been covered a few times before on these forums. Please try searching for nokia 770 or nokia 800, sonos remote, etc. This post and the links within should help you get started http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33380&page=2&highlight=sonos+remote -- Nikhil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nikhil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35011 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
