Re: [slim] iPod Touch or iPhone to control music server
Wikipedia has correct info on speed: # CPU: Initially ARM 400 MHz, but now 412 MHz for 1st generation, 533 MHz [1] for 2nd Generation and ARM Cortex-A8 833 MHz underclocked to 600MHz for 3rd Generation . # GPU: PowerVR MBX Lite in 2nd Generation[28] and PowerVR SGX GPU for 3rd Generation[citation needed] # RAM: 128 MB DRAM in 2nd Generation and 256 MB DRAM in 3rd Generation You only gain 60 MHz going from 2nd to 3rd generation, though OpenGL intensive apps will gain a lot more with higher speed and 2.0 compatibility, which of course don't matter to iPeng. I'm looking at getting a used Ipod Touch 8G now when ppl are upgrading - sorry but no jive software wonder in the world would make me jump to a proprietary controller when you can get touch web browsing... -- pacc pacc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67717 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It seems that the Controller UI DOES get an overhaul with SC 7.4. Yay, I was wrong!

Re: [slim] iPod Touch or iPhone to control music server
I thought as much, since the lowest model is dispatched immediately and the others take 5 working days. BTW, is there a difference in processing power between an iPod 2G and an iPhone 1G (which my brother has and I am testing iPeng with) ? My server is fast enough, but I have it clocked at the lowest frequency atm, will test if album artwork is showed faster if I allow him to clock faster. signorRossi. -- signor_rossi signor_rossi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11941 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67717 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] iPod Touch or iPhone to control music server
I can't tell whether it will make a difference, my 3g touch only arrives next week. Btw, the 8GB models are still 2G. That said: if you want a faster iPeng, take the cheapest iTouch and invest in a faster server. As on my experience speed is more dependent on server performance. There may be a few UI things that may become faster with a faster iPod but you have to be aware that iPeng (and Squeemote, too, btw) are nowhere near as slow as the web interface. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67717 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I am also looking at purchasing a touch. The third generation of ipod touch has just been released. Will the increase in processor speed make any significant difference for its use with ipeng?

Re: [slim] iPod Touch or iPhone to control music server
i highly recommend buying an itouch for controlling your squeezeboxes. I use the touch almost exclusively as a controller. I also use ipeng and find it very good. fyi- a couple things that I use the squeeze remote for instead of ipeng: making musicip mixes- it has always seemed clunky to do this in ipeng. making mixes based on trackstat-also a matter of being hard to navigate in ipeng. best of luck! -- exile exile's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67717 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iPod Touch or iPhone to control music server
I've been using iPeng for a while but Squeemote looks good as well. Squeezecenter itself is starting to look like a weak link in the chain now. The responsiveness and ease of use of iPeng (and even more so from Squeemote) makes Squeezecenter's interface look a poor relation. Is there any way these iPhone apps could be adapted for desktop use (at least on Apple hardware)? Surely the major work has been done - these apps are caching the library and artwork and delivering it quicker than the web interface does. For example I've always found Sync to be confusing and hard to find whether by remote or web app but the sync interface of Squeemote looks the business. -- b33k34 b33k34's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10919 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67717 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
