I think this is a no brainer as addition to the line. Lot's of people co-locate their music with their home theater or surround sound TV setup. In my perfect future version, it would have both a screen and the video output. Ideally it would be HDMI for video and sound combined. All devices need some kind of screen on them for troubleshooting or otherwise working it while the TV isn't on or tuned to the source. The display doesn't need to be as fancy as the current one, but should at least be basic and allow navigation. Obvious reasons for the video out are playlists and album art, as well as visualizers. A stretch goal would be photo slideshows while music plays. -- thomsens ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thomsens's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1352 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34943 _______________________________________________ jive mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/jive
