I've tried the PSP and smartphones and also suffered the same way. There's abit of a geeky wow factor at first and the graphics look good, but then the clunkiness started to really annoy me. The controller is by far the best way to date to control squeezeboxes to date, it's still frustrating at times and I think overengineered, but from spending some time discussing it, that seems to be the intent; to provide a platform for developers as much as a consumer product. Not the way I would have done it, I would have put a lot more focus on core features like library search, playlist composition and ultra-slick navigation and completely left out screensavers, clocks, accelerometers, DACs and other novelties, but hey, it's not my company :-) After spending some time considering it and a lot of the comments, I'm starting to realise that it's version 2.0 of the controller that is going to be the killer. This one is a learning curve and it'll only be after the software settles down, the longer term usability and hardware niggles emerge that it'll really be the mutts nuts. -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
