Then it wouldn't be a Touch, would it?

I was responding to the post prior to mine commenting on Logitech
missing the mark coming out with a product that wasn't, in essence, an
IPod Touch dedicated to the Squeezebox line.  Maybe that's coming, given
they've laid the groundwork with this device, but I don't blame them for
not going down that path right now.  Apple has a very nice device
already, and Pippin has developed a quite usable app for controlling
players.

There are a number of things about the Controller I like better than
the IPod/IPeng solution, but if I already had the IPod I wouldn't find
much reason to spring for a dedicated device when I can get pretty much
the same functionality with a $10 app. Now that I'm starting to get the
hang of IPeng (I've been borrowing my daughter's IPod the past several
weekends), I'm seriously considering springing for my own and
mothballing the controller.
