Received mine in NZ yesterday.  A very frustrating experience, the
controller would not update and it would take minutes to connect to my
existing Squeezeboxes (I have 2 Squeezebox 3s) if at all (most of the
time it wouldn't connect even if it was next to them and the wireless
network router).

If I used Squeezecenter on my PC to connect to Squeezenetwork
everything worked but if I tried to use the controller to reconnect any
of the Squeezeboxes to my music files it never connected.  Even when I
used the web interface to connect to my local music and on the rare
occasion the controller connected to one of my squeezebox 3s, it showed
what was playing but had no menu options to browse my music library and
change what was playing.  This was all using the latest Squeezecenter
7.0.1.

Finally today out of desperation I installed the 7.1 alpha.  The
controller then updated properly for the first time and now everything
works perfectly.  Changing player takes about 2 seconds and my music
library is available and works fine on all of them.  Switching between
Squeezenetwork and Squeezecenter also works fine.  Only minor problem
is the standard Squeezecenter web interface is corrupt (it is alpha
software) but changing from Classic to Fishbone has sorted that for
now.  

Worth a try for those with problems.  [I have an XP PC and a USR9106
wireless router]
