Was the 40 minute figure a (sarcastic or otherwise!) guess or is it quoted somewhere? If it was a guess I'd be really interested to know what the actual figure will be. This functionality is only really useful if the streaming battery life is more than about 3 hours IMO. Is that ARM processor in the controller capable of decoding all the audio standards? -- PaulR ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PaulR's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1220 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41805 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
