Dear All,
Todays woot on http://woot.com is the Nokia 770 for $129 ( + $5 Shipping)
I have one (purchased for much more, shortly after it came out), and use it with the Nokia770 skin created by Ben Klaas as a wireless remote control for my squeezebox(en) (search the forums for more info) e.g. Here
(The 770 skin is included on recent slimserver releases - try it yourslimserver:9000/nokia770)
The limitations of the 770 are well known, it has been superseded by the N800, but the woot price is a good one (best I found on pricegrabber currently was ~$259).
So if you want a wireless touchscreen remote for your SB (or transporter), that displays album art - and lets you surf the web, Now! (as opposed to waiting for the iPhone
, or some as-yet-unannounced-jive-powered device
) - and feel the price is worth it for you - then head over to woot.com
Though I'd better point this out to people who want one, or had been previously put off by the price.
(I'm cross posting this in both the members lounge + Dedicated Source component forums in order to get this to SB owners etc in a timely manner)
Hope you find this useful.
