Maybe Logitech haven't released theirs for 10.1, either?

One should note that SqueezeCommander seems to be orphaned by it's
author. I have several reports from users that say that flatterman
doesn't respond to support requests
Not sure about how much people can contact SqueezeCommander's author but
the app updated in the last week.
What's in this version:
- Fixed a stupid bug that caused frequent reconnections when using the
same SBS as local and remote server
- Fixed trackstat ratings in context menus
- Enabled
Any difference in apps availability between the 2 operating systems?
Thanks

Sorry, I _still_ don't understand what you mean with Apps.
If you talk about stuff like Spotify, MOG et al. They are pretty much
the same as on the Squeezebox and also look pretty much the same, at
least on the device.
I bought both apps (Squeeze Commander and Orange Squeeze) and both of
them work great. So you should not be disappointed by the functionality,
polish, and aplomb of either app. For me, however, I found that in
actual use Squeeze Commander was unintuitive and therefore I use Orange
