I really wish they smacked you in the face more with the fact that you can sync rooms in their ads. What they need is a good party scene, where everybody in one room is listening to a song, but it gets too crowded, so they open the door to another room, and jam in there, but it's silent... The

By chance saw a logitech video on the german amazon site: http://www.amazon.de/gp/mpd/permalink/m3EVJHHUALRC9U (you don't need to understand english ;) ) If you look a it you see a man sitting on his couch holding a Touch in its hand and using it 'just' as a controller (at 00:20-00:35). First
