Re: [slim] Can I breath new life into my system, or does in need replacing?
If you PM me your email address, I will contact one of the admins there and ask if they can do something for you so that your registration goes through. My guess is that it is such a quiet place the ratio of spam attempts to real requests for new registrations is very high so anti-spam measures are set to block a lot.

Sorry to ask this here, but I don't know where else I can ask. I've just tried to register at https://www.jogglerwiki.com/forum/ For some reason I got a message saying that I'd been flagged as a spammer and couldn't register. I tried a few different email addresses, and then got locked out of registering. I don't know why the mistake has happened, but I really want to get onto that forum as well as this one. I can't find a contact email address anywhere, to ask for help. Do any of you know the contact details for an administrator/moderator of the Joggler forum?

Re: [slim] Can I breath new life into my system, or does in need replacing?
I ordered my first Joggler, from eBay, earlier. :-) If it lives up to expectations, I may by a few. If not, I may go down the raspberry and touch screen route. In the mean time, I'm focussing on getting all of out phones working better with my current slim devices. Do you guys tend to use the 'Material UI' thing that has been mentioned, rather than iPeng (which is the best app I've found previously)?

Re: [slim] Can I breath new life into my system, or does in need replacing?
These Joggler's are fascinating me. Do you use them to play the actual music? Or just to control the Squueze devices around the house? And can they play TV/Films? Can you install Kodi, or are they not that powerful? Are they as good as a RasberyPi solution, or inferiour but quicker to set up? Are they comparable with a Squeezebox Touch?

I really seared for those, and found nothing! > To add to bpa's comments ... it requires a power transformer - so, unlike a tablet, it is not very mobile. Joggler was than brand name used by the UK telecoms operator O2. They were available in O2 shops for around 300GBP at launch ... or free if you took it instead of a phone upgrade. This lead to a lot making their way into people's home - but they were not as successful as hoped so price drops were used to clear the stock. Think of them as similar to a Squeezebox Touch without optical out but with an internal speaker. As a parting gesture, O2/Openpeak provided a way to unlock the devices (although the community had already achieved it). They became even more similar to the Touch when JiveLite was ported to it and a replacement operating system (SqueezeOS) was made available. I use them as both players and controllers. I had access to one of the very first in the UK (before the product was announced) because the company I worked for provided some of the back-end services that it used. I took one in exchange for a phone upgrade and bought one or two from O2 when the price went down a lot. Since then I think I have acquired at least 10 more and pushed them into homes of family members ... Nowadays you can find them on eBay for 15-25GBP and replacing the OS with SqueezeOS or something else is simply a matter of putting some software on a USB stick and rebooting. Outside UK you might find them but under other names. The devices came from Openpeak and they sold them to Swisscom and, I think, Cisco in USA for home energy monitoring (I have one of those as well ... taller box with 2 internal speakers), Verizon and Avaya (USA) for telephony.
