I suspect that the Touch will prove to be more future proof in Logitech's world than an SB3 - it'll likely see more development work and enhancements than the SB3. Squeezeboxes really are worth pairing with some sort of handheld touch interface: iPeng on iPhone/iPod touch is my fave, but there

Not withstanding the above messages, I wouldn't count out the Receiver or the Duet (a Duet is a Receiver and Controller sold together). There are certainly plenty of us that own receivers - most as Duets, and most of us are quite happy with these products. I should point out that the Controller
