iPhone, I fully understand the whole multifunction knob thing. I drive a CNC lathe at work and all manual moves are run by a multifunction pulse wheel. This machine is fifteen years old and has 256k of bubble RAM. The wheel responds instantaneously, every time. The pulses generated by the SBB's multi-function wheel should be redirected to the local unit. The developers have put too much faith in the immediacy of a long-distance connection. I certainly don't mind a few seconds of buffering when I turn the unit on, but I want controls to be snappy, not laggy. How would you feel if every time you tried to change the volume of your iPhone, it routed the request through Bangalore and behaved differently every time? The fact that so many folks seem to be having trouble with the alarm function, something absolutely critical for many people, shows that there are certain functions that need to be handled completely locally. I'm faulting the developers for this, not blaming them for omitting an analog control. Can we lay this to rest now? -- Enginemusic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enginemusic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33727 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77468 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezenetwork
