The Sonos remote is a lot more than that, around $400. And what remote
does Olive have? I don't see one anywhere on their site. Are you
referring to the Sonata, which is priced at $200? The Sonata is more
like an SB. You need to plug it into a stereo or powered speakers
(http://www.olive.us/p_bin/?cid=01_02_sonata03 ), and with those cords
trailing around it's not meant as a remote control. Maybe I'm just
overlooking something, but I don't think I've ever seen a picture of
any remote control for an Olive. But maybe I just got too impatient
with the [EMAIL PROTECTED] Flash "tours" on their website.

That said, I agree that a remote with a GUI would be a nice *option*
for Squeezebox and Transporter. Keep the simple cheapo remote as the
standard remote, but make a pricier one available for those who want
it. In the meantime, either a WiFi enabled PDA (with the Touch skin or
SlimRemote) or Nokia770 (with Ben's skin) makes a pretty nice gui
remote much like the Sonos.
