Oh, that would be a real competitor to the SB Touch.

The obvious disadvantages it has compared to SB Touch:
- No FLAC support (probably no lossless format support I'm guessing), I
suspect this also means that the audio circuits isn't a good as the
Touch.
- No third party support
- Probably no support for synchronized playback with multiple players.

However, even though it has some disadvantages I wonder if most users
really care, the advantages like large screen, lower price and support
for video should look pretty appealing to most users.

I suspect the HP Dreamscreen 100 might look more appealing than SB
Touch for most users doesn't already have an investment in Squeezebox
devices.
