I have both (and a Nokia 770 and an Asus Eee - all get used as Squeezebox controllers occasionally!).
If funds are tight and you fancy getting a mobile wifi browser, get an iPod Touch. It gives most of the use of the Controller, and is the best wifi mobile browser out there. Lovely product. However, if you just want a remote control for your music, the Controller is better. The scrolling is better (although the iPeng is good), the keys are useful and it's more intuitive. Put it in the hands of a friend and it takes 10 seconds to explain how it works (mainly the difference between play and add); then they're choosing music and thinking about buying one themselves! Neither works 100%. Wifi has issues, and such things are never going to be bug-free. I still like to have my old IR remote within reach, in case the phone goes and I need to turn it down without having to wait for a wifi handshake! The Controller is better in this respect, but still not perfect. I consider them complementary products - no reason not to get both, IMO :) -- adamslim Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others SB+, EAR V20, Living Voice OBX-R2s plus some other stuff SB3, Charlize, Harbeth HL-P3ES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49328 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
