I was in a US Best Buy store the other day and saw a Sonos unit. You know, I was really disappointed by the remote control. First, the buttons seemed cheaper than I imagined. Worse, the remote didn't seem all that responsive. It felt sluggish. The user interface might be more intuitive than the Squeezebox 2-line up/down/left/right menus, but I was surprised that it didn't react more quickly to my button presses. It felt a little like running the latest & greatest software on an old computer. Not great. Add to that the fact that it's a completely closed system, and I'm glad that I've sent my $ to Slim/Logitech. -Peter -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim BlankSaver BottleRocket FuzzyTime SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36259 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
