I'm pretty sure you can forget about TrackStat and SQL Playlist, they
are just too resource intensive to run directly on the Touch. However,
there is a point on the road map called "magic playlists" which should
do similar things. I don't think this will be implemented in the first
Touch release but hopefully sometime in the future.

Flexible browsing is on the road map, so my guess is that something
like this will be supported but probably not in the initial release. I
think the current plan is to implement this in 8.1 or something
similar.

It's easier to browse in your library thanks to the larger screen, but
it currently don't have any more browsing menus than SB3.

I'm guessing that the respository.xml files from known devlelopers
might be available through mysqueezebox.com

You can always setup a temporary Squeezebox Server just to be able to
install a custom applet. It's only needed during installation so you can
setup the custom repository.xml file.

And I thought my 3500 track library was a small one...

I'm personally a bit skeptical if the TinySC on the Touch is going to
be able to handle 30000 tracks. I might be completely wrong about this
but I suspect TinySC will work best with smaller libraries.

I think there was a weather applet released recently in the 3rd party
plugins forum, so if you just want a weather screen saver I'm pretty
sure there will be solutions available.
