Re: Soundbridge questions

Hi Scott,

  In the initial release of our client software, yes, you will see a 2-line
display without the visualizer.  You will not gain any additional characters
of information, just larger size.

  You should be able to do anything with the SlimServer that you would do
with any other client of it.  The operation should be exactly what you're
used to now.  Do note, however, that our remote was designed to work with
our user interface (not the SlimServer UI), and so some quick-access
features that require additional keys on the remote aren't available when
using the SlimServer.  (Example: we don't have number keys so the fast
scroll and T9-style text entry are unavailable).

  I don't believe we've announced any formal plans for what you describe in
#3, although of course we're always looking for ways for our products to
interact and build upon on another.

Best,
--Mike
