Have you played with an iPhone on Touch though ? It sounds like you haven't. The good news is that for mainly list based apps, like the Squeezebox apps are going to be, you only need one hand. You beer can stay safely in your other hand. The iPhone interface really is like no other remote, phone or mp3 player interface (though I haven't played with the HTC Touch stuff much, which I imagine has borrowed some bits). You really can hold it in onw hand and navigate with you thumb. You only need to resort to s second hand when typing text, click on links in webpages or if you want fine control of zooming in and out of web pages and images. I take your point in the lack of physical buttons for things like volume and track skipping and I doubt the apps will be able to hijack the iPhones own volume buttons unfortunately. I know I sound like a complete Apple fanboy, but I'm not. I use the best tool that I can find for the job in hand. For my servers that is Linux, for my .net development machines that is Windows, for my and for my phone/pda/quick web browser/games machine/portable mp3 player/emailer that is the iPhone. When we have a native iPhone app I imagine it will also take over most of my Squeezebox controlling tasks too. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?
