Jooseppi, may I suggest that you use Squeezecenter on your computer for
a while. For instance on the "Home" screen click on "Albums". Now you
have a list of albums gazing politely at you, waiting for you to make a
selection. What could be prettier, snappy or more intuitive? Now, select
a different letter from the alpha index to bring up the relevant albums.
How long did that screen take to fill? In my mind there is plenty of fun
to be had here. 

I'll agree the Controller is taking a wee while to get to perfect. I've
been used to the Squeezebox 3 (wired network) for some time now, and it
reacts a bit quicker than does the Controller - but then it is pretty
fully formed as of now, not under daily evolution as is the
Controller/Reciever. There's as bit of growing in the Duet yet, but I
can wait and see how the development goes. I like what's there now - it
can be finnicky but that's computers for you. The Controller is in a
state of development, but it a fine thing as it is. 

Would I prefer that it was finalised first and then sold? Absolutely
not. I've been downloading beta stuff for years. I want what is
available now. Boys and their toys etc. I'll cope with a bit of a
hiccup here and there. 

What would I really like? Maybe a version of a tablet PC to run
Squeezecenter on. iPeng is probably not too far off there, but I'm not
inclined to get another iPod. The iPhone is too darn expensive to
operate where I live, and I prefer the Blackberry email facility for
the moment. A development of the iRex Iliad/Kindle/Sony PRS 505 able to
handle Squeezecenter would be cool. What do you think Slim
Devices/Logitech? :-)
