For the last couple weeks my Sonos system has been down due to a broken power cord for the charging cradle. While searching on the Sonos website for a replacement, I see they have a new app where you can run your Sonos System from your iPhone. Basically your phone becomes the controller.

The app is free so I figured what the heck.

 My Sonos is now back up and running and I am listening to it now. 

Going through the app, I don't see where any features are missing. I wish I knew about this when my power cord failed.

 I use the Sonos for the radio as there are some great stations throughout the globe and it's all I need.

 So for those who have a Sonos and an iPhone.................

Yeah, Sonos, Slim, and iTunes. Now can a Pre do that?

It would take the place of a source component but sounds much better going into a preamp unless you have the Sonos system with built in amps (I have two of them for dinning and other living room).
 There are some really good Blues/Jazz stations available that I would normally not be able to enjoy. We have junk radio stations around here.

You're correct. My post was actually a cryptic reference to the little spat going on between Apple and Palm: Palm's new Pre comes with an app to control iTunes which seems to have irked Apple. Both companies have recently upgraded their respective applications: Palm to make the app work and Apple to disable it (via an iTunes update). Currently, Apple is one up on Palm.
