Hi Ross, not sure if you saw the bit in my original post, if I got this I'd run it as a squeezebox, not as a replacement. As its Android you can install the squeezeplay app, then the box itself becomes another SB player on your network, thats the bit I'm interested in! cheers -- billytkid

I saw this too. My thoughts. I don't want a DLNA-only audio player. I'm very happy with the richness of squeezebox for audio and specifically I like the central config/integration for the mysqueezebox.com services. I certainly WOULD like the ability to run other apps on a similar
