You can only be honest about what you have seen and held in your hands. The remote is being shown to engadget reporters and at CES, so I think it's fair to comment on how it is right now. It may change a huge amount between now and release (20 days?) and will surely improve over time, but that doesn't make any comments made right now dishonest. Guessing what it might be in the future would potentially be misleading, don't you think? And after all Slim have always told beta testers to be frank and honest in their appraisals, it would help no-one if it were pure fan boy nonsense. As I said in my post, I do feel slightly unfaithful making the comments after the generosity of Slim in sending me a controller, but I stick by them, the beta isn't as good as I hoped for. It is cheaper, faster and more functional than a Sonos and that may be good enough, but it isn't there yet for me. -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41805 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
