To remove the stand on the Touch, you need a Torx driver though, don't you? I don't think the screw heads are standard phillips heads. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch, SqueezeCommander on Xoom. SuSE 11.0 Server running

You don't have that much of a choice, if you want to buy a new player . It is the Touch . Neither SB3 or duet (receiver+controller) is manufactured anymore may still exist on some sites. Touch is also showing up at discount prices here and there, so you can grab one for the same kind of money as

The touch scren is neat for the initial setup a on screen keyboard for the wifi password is a blessing The capacitive touch screen is the same as in many simpler phones and not a very expensive one, the vfd in sb3 cost more , so you paid more for the display when you bougth the sb3... -- Mnyb
