Squeezebox™ Duet is on www.logitech.com

I have yet to get into the networked music streaming pool, this one looks seriously cool. Now to decide if I want it or the Transporter. Actually I want a black Transporter with a Duet remote!

Will the Duet remote only work on Logitech products or can it work with say the Ipod or Wadia's new ipod unit?

It is a wifi device, programmed to communicate only to the Slimserver application, running somewhere on your local area network. It won't work with other brands' gear.

I signed up for the availability notification. I wonder where I'll hear it's for sale first: here on AC, or email from Logitech? Hmmmm... I wonder.  duh

Thank Norman

there are a few who are using the new ipod touch (itouch) as a slimserver remote which supposedly works fantastic.  i have thought of the idea (extreme cool factor), but i still think using the standard remote/universal remote and the display is the quickest way to get to your music.  but, for simple setups i think this idea is awesome.

More importantly, is it worth modding.  The remote alone i think is 300 bucks.

The remote kicks serious butt... I love using it.  I've had a chance to be a part of the beta program and am writing a review now.  My business partner is auditioning it now and taking notes.. once we can compare them I'll post the review.

Can the remote be used directly with an SB3, or must it be used w/ that other new device?
