Agree, agree, agree!!! I'm one of those people who stuff their A/V gear into a closet and (today) runs everything from an RF-equipped remote. Actually, my wife prefers it that way, and come to think of it, I do too. Now it's certainly within Logitech's power to market a WiFi remote with a UI and navigation controls optimized for accessing and managing large, complex music (or media) libraries. Even an Ajax web interface isn't enough (if Apple had relied on that running its iPod devices, it would have failed miserably). For me, a simple (think iPod, Zen, Sansa, etc. -- and a small screen is essential) portable remote control that lets me queue up music, playlists, change from stored to Internet radio, etc., would be a profoundly great thing.
