The Jive hardware is of course much more promising than the N800...

The main thing for me is that the Sonos is a closed and static design, 
while my old 'slimp3' still grows new features with every new plugin and 
every new slimserver version *and* I can tinker with it myself.  If 
price wasn't an issue I think I'd advise non-technical friends to get a 
Sonos. The ones that are a little more technically inclined should get 
an SB3. Definitely...
