Doesn't the fact that the OP states that iPeng will stop and start a track instantly give the lie to your caching and underpowered server explanation? I think the Controller hardware is too finnicky and unforgiving for its purpose. Logitech have devoted lots of developer time trying to sort out the Controller's wireless connectivity problems (but curing the problems for some users always seems to introduce them for others), and countless firmware revisions on there are still large amounts of users who have troubles with the Controller. The hardware on the iPhone/iPod must be better researched and better specified (or better funded maybe?). I've not heard of any iDevices that have problems controlling any SBS devices over any wireless network. Certainly all the ones in use I know of work flawlessly. As for Pippin working for Logitech... that's funny.. somehow I don't think he'll want to. He does not have a marketing department or ill-informed, short-sighted bosses breathing down his neck forcing development decisions on him he knows to be futile, and.... he has developed a product that Logitech are not going to bother competing with (they'd have to release it free, ala Sonos..... and you just know that there's no way it'll be half a good as iPeng). And anyway I understand he has a job (yes, it does seem hard to believe). MC -- ModelCitizen Think the third party Squeeze plugins and applets are important? Then 'vote for bug 14194' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14194) so more can be made.
