Since iPod Touch is $299 and Duet Controller is $299 it's tough choice.
I've used an iPhone and the screen is very good.
I realize the iPod Touch would not be as customized as a Duet
Controller but it would be very versatile.
Has anyone compared the pros and cons of each?
I know a while back t

Just so you know - the iPhone offers the same functionality as the iPod
Touch. So if you already have an iPhone...

Almost true. The iPhone is also a cell phone.
I know, hardly anyone uses it as a phone, and the reviews say its not a
great phone.

Well, IMO, the only shortcoming is you need two fingers to scroll down
page, hopefully with the upcoming software version 2.0, the problem
will be resolved.
Not to forget a wonderful ipeng plugin that pippin created. Thanks.
Cheers.

I have and use both. Personally, I'm waiting for two developments:
audio stream playback on the SBC (due with SC 7.2) and the advent of a
native app (with audio stream playback) on the touch (due sometime
after July 11th.)

Until the SBC infra-red is actived and has some app. support, I'll be
keeping my Pronto as main controller. If a need artwork, I'll just use
my mobile phone (it has wi-fi).

I have both.
The screen on the iPhone / Touch is superb. The iPeng interface is
very good, however there are a few drawbacks to the Touch
1 / No dedicated keys. The Duet allows instant access to Pause,
Volume, Skip etc.
2 / Battery life . the Touch has to go into standby mode after a

Pat, I'm a bit shocked at this statement - as it's totally false. Most

Mostly false?
Somewhat false?
OK, I know lots of geeks who bought iPhones the first day, and some even
use it as a phone. I was slightly exaggerating for effect.
> of the millions of iPhone owners - me being on
I have both (and a Nokia 770 and an Asus Eee - all get used as
Squeezebox controllers occasionally!).
If funds are tight and you fancy getting a mobile wifi browser, get an
iPod Touch. It gives most of the use of the Controller, and is the
best wifi mobile browser out there. Lovely product.
Ho
I had both, and both are far from perfect in their use as a controller.
I returned the Controller because it's screen is not good outdoors, and
is no match for the iPhone/Touch screen. You also get far more for your
money, more than just a controller for your $299, with the iPhone/Touch
as well.
iPeng is great, the only drawback is that it has to reload the pages
which takes a couple of seconds each time. If it goes native, i'm
getting myself an iTouch/Phone

Hi,
Do the Controller and the iTouch both support the weather forecast and
condition plug ins and do they show on the screens?
I just watched the YouTube video on the controller and it looks really
good. I have no idea how the iTouch would work but it does have more
uses which is nice.
Thanks,

Does slimfx work with safari? If so, you won't have to wait for any

The iPod Touch doesn't support flash yet, so unfortunately it can't run
slimfx.

Sorry, not arguing - just felt your original statement was pretty off
base. You said hardly anyone uses it as a phone (false) and that
reviews say
