With the factory firmware it is necessary to have an internet so that you can upgrade the firmware to the most recent available. I don't recall for certain, but it may also be possible to update the firmware if you have a local SbS on your network and it has a more recent firmware. Considering that the factory software will be at least eight months old by the time the Touch goes on sale, you wouldn't want to skip this step. With newer firmware, it's no longer a part of the initial setup to connect to the internet and do a firmware upgrade. There -is- a step in the setup where you're asked to create a mysqueezebox.com account for the player, but this can be bypassed by left-right swiping the screen. I haven't tried it recently, but without an internet connection it may also timeout and then let you proceed to the Home menu. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73231 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
