Yes, the SB Touch has wifi capability. But wifi implies a network of some sort. I do not know if the SBT supports 'bridged' mode like the Duet that would enable the SBC to communicate directly with the SBT. I haven't tried that with my beta SBT. If it does support bridged mode then you're all set. If it doesn't, then you need a wifi router to hand out IP addresses to the SBC and SBT, and otherwise intermediate the communication between the SBC and SBT.
FUNKSTAR OR ANY OTHERS OUT THERE: DO YOU KNOW THE SITUATION RE SBT DOING 'BRIDGED' MODE A LA DUET? Also, if you don't want to reach across to touch the touchscreen, you don't *need* an SBC -- you can just use the included IR remote. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69041 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
