Agreeance.  Although technically it can control more than one device,
but for most of us, that isn't a likelihood.  I know there are a few
guys here who have more than one SB or Transporter (one I believe had
14), but most of us won't ever have more than one SB. So yes .. it may
as well only be able to control one.

Because the bottom line is that it only has a singular function. It
just comes with pictures. So does an iPod Touch. I believe that there
are a few here who are using Touch's to control their Squeezeboxen. But
then I can take that same Touch and listen to music on the road, and
watch a few movies too.  All for the same price as your fancy new
remote control. 

Don't get me wrong .. the controller is cool. It's just WAY
overpriced!

I'm using my Viewsonic Airpanel to view this forum. It was cool when it
came out at a whopping $1200. It was "the next best thing" for
convenient web access when it came out a few years ago. I bought it on
a fire sale for $200 a year-and-a-half later. It is now a dead product.
I fear that your controller will suffer a similar demise if it is so
overpriced that no one buys it!
