No, the Touch has a screen and its touch sensitive. The Duet is really a Controller and a Receiver. The Receiver has no UI, no display, no buttons. It has one LED that glows. The Controller is a computer that fits in your hand. It has a display and some buttons and a wheel. Since you have MP3 files, discussions of upsampling and all that is kinda silly. > I thought I read somewhere (maybe on these forums) that the touch is > using faster processors and more memory than in the receiver that comes > with the duet. Is there any truth to this that anyone knows of? The Touch is really a computer. Not a super powerful one, but a computer with memory, an OS, display, place to plug in a USB keyboard. Actually, the Controller is a computer, just less capable. Its got more memory than the first three or four computers that I bought. > If it is true, I guess the question becomes is it better to get the > latest and greatest receiver as opposed to what comes with the duet. The > obvious sacrifice would be in the controllers. Really, you need to be careful about using product names as generic things. the Receiver is a product. It is sold either separately, or bundled with a Controller and called a "Duet" I've not heard of any "latest" versions of either the Duet or the Receiver. The Touch is in Beta, so there is not technically a "latest" yet, since there is no "there" yet. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
