I tried out the Logitech app today which was a big selling point of
Squeezebox to me (I don't want any extra remotes especially ones that
cost £150!) but was a bit disappointed. The layout seems very nice and
it has all the functionality but boy is it slow!

I haven't read through all 19 pages here but I hope there's an
explanation for why simple things such as artists lists are almost
impossible to scroll through. I was expecting something as slick as the
XBMC remote app which if the developers haven't tried they should have a
look at. It looks nice and is very fast, can wake up XBMC machines
through WOL etc and is generally very good at what it does, about the
only thing it doesn't do well is the error messages it pops when you
don't have a wireless connection which are a bit user unfriendly (but
they don't crash the app).

I've tried out Squeezedroid which works but is not quite as pretty as
I'd like but is otherwise quite functional. It looks like I'll have to
purchase squeezecommander as that has been getting good reviews and the
authoer on these boards seems very responsive.

For your information my phone is an Orange San Francisco (rebadged ZTE
Blade) with Froyo on board. I've tried it with CM7 and that was perhaps
a tiny bit faster but overall still very sluggish.
