I have a PSP and a Dell Axim X3. I would say that's it's easier to navigate using the PDA. The PSP's analogue nub is a bit imprecise. In terms of connecting to the Wireless network, the PSP was a doddle, took 5 mins to configure. Pity it's only 802.11b though. Both are equally bad for data

If you just want a web browsing remote have you thought about the Nokia 770? http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,1522,,00.html?orig=/770 For me the 800 x 480 touch screen and 802.11g are the big advantages. Knowing Nokia and being a dedicated web tablet it will probably have similar shortcuts for

I have both, and they have pros and cons. The PSP screen is better than most PDAs, and I prefer the landscape format for browsing web pages. The browser itself is also pretty solid and well featured. However, a touch screen such as on a PDA certainly makes things easier to use. -- radish

To be honest I don't use either for controlling the SB very much, I usually use the normal remote. If I had to pick one, probably the PDA, just because of the stylus control. How far from your Squeezebox can you be and still get connection? Distance from the SB is unimportant - it's network

I have just gotten hold of the latest Palm PDA, the TX, in which Palm have finally delivered built-in wi-fi and I have to say it does a tremendous job of providing a rich remote interface for the SB. Screen is large, bright and high res and works well with the slimserver handheld skin. But the
