Stop the iPod religion already. My TV has more buttons than the SB and 
nobody ever complained about that. The Play problems stem from the fact 
that the SB works just a little bit different from other music players. 
You have to get used to that. Trying it for the first time during a 
party while inebriated is not the best way to learn.

More like the Sonos treatment. BTW, I think the new remote has too few 
buttons. Changing shuffle mode while browsing my music folders is a 
major hassle. Yes, you can theoretically do everything with a wheel and 
one button but it will be terribly inconvenient.
