I'm SOOOO glad the Soundbridge is finally going to ship and that it's going to 
use iTunes. I have an iPod so it will be nice to use all my iTunes libraries 
and playlists.

I have a scenario that I would like to run by the Soundbridge developers to 
see what they think:

If I have a Soundbridge and I am using iTunes can I use either the Slimserver 
client or telnet client in the Soundbridge to control it? For example, can I 
tell the Soundbridge to play song 'X' from playlist 'Y' in iTunes from another 
computer? And can I request similar information back from the Soundbridge? I 
already read the "Geeks" section of the Soundbridge User Manual so I know 
there is forthcoming information but I would like to see if these capabilities 
will exist before that time.

Also, other than the WiFi CF card listed on Roku's website are there any other 
cards that have been "unofficially" tested with the Soundbridge? I have a 
Linksys one I would like to use it.

Thanks!
