yet one more option would be to offer a multi-tiered way to remotely
access your SB2.  this might help SB2's entrance into the mainstream
market (if those are slimdevices plans!).  i like vs804017's use of a
hand-held device an awful lot, and am waiting for nokia to release the
770.  being just a bit of a linux/unix zealot, i couldn't use a pda or
a hand held that runs windows.  :-)  i'm sure the HP faithfully does
the deed, if only they would have used HPUX instead of windows ... and
the nokia uses debian linux as its embedded O/S ...

but, that's not the point.  if slimdevices could package the SB2 with
any of a variety of remote access devices, that might help out a lot
towards ease of use for the consumer.  the current remote would be
standard, and from there you could upgrade to a pda, nokia 770, a
hacked SONOS remote, etc.  if the remote access boxes were supported by
slimdevices (perhaps pre-loaded with software, or configured somehow),
that might level out the feature-for-feature comparison with SONOS, or
the next device that has an even COOLER access method!  which you then
have to have ... !
