I know you're trying to make a point, I just don't know what it is]]>Jul 7th 2009 8:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/
Yep I am clueless, so much that I have never use an app, except for your moms.

@ lawyer bird
my point is, anus should stfu instead of saying comments like that, If they made it people will buy it like iphone, xbox, psp, ps3 whatever,
but they saying it like thier choices is the best, like they speak for everyone. STFU. Not to you personally Lawyer bird.]]>Jul 7th 2009 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/Jul 7th 2009 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/Jul 8th 2009 12:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/Jul 7th 2009 8:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/
Aside from those two points, not much is different, you just have to ask yourself, do those two things equal the price increase over an itouch]]>Jul 7th 2009 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/Jul 7th 2009 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/Jul 7th 2009 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/Jul 7th 2009 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/The key difference is that the cr100 is water resistant. Near the pool or in the spa
using the iPhones to control the systems is not an option. Wet hands on a cr100
however is no big deal.

The question is.... Is the cr200 water resistant??? If so I'm in. ]]>Jul 7th 2009 10:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/
So anything with a touchscreen is pretty nice for not being an iPhone? Go figure Gizmodo.

Also, the price on that thing is ridiculous. ]]>Jul 7th 2009 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/
It runs through the sonos network. This is one of the main reasons I got the sonos system in the first place. my house has MAJOR interference for wireless. I have 5 sonos points and 2 controllers (plus the ipod touch and phone). my 802.11n wifi doesn’t even reach the middle of our house let alone the far end. Cabling is prohibitively expensive due to house location and design. the sonos system covers the whole house inside and outside, so I can control everything from anywhere whether its sync play across multiple locations or just one zone in the living room. The battery life/sleep mode of the controller means it lasts for ages without a charge.

my ipod/phone is limited in access due to the interference, but even when it is in range I usually find myself grabbing a sonos controller simply because I find it faster to use (except for text searching, the MAIN problem with the click wheel interface). Of course my library is well organised by artist/album so I usually go straight to what I want. any serious playlist/internet radio favourite management is done for the desktop sonos controller software.

I also run media from a standalone RAID NAS drive that is always on whereas my computers are probably off. It is also 1 location for all my computers to access media. As I am outside the US, no streaming paid media for me, damn you rhapsody/pandora/etc

When in the yard, I can change zones on/off as I move around the house while working to move sound with me as the sonos net extends outside for the controller. I can get my roaming zone and put it outside with a power extension cable and a couple of speakers and link it if I am having a party/etc that extends further from the house.

you can also use the controller as a range finder for the sonos net zone setup and positioning. Its water resistant for around the pool or in the kitchen.

For me it is perfect and there isn’t anything else that suits. I would get one new controller simply for the sonosnet integration with typing ability.

I wouldn’t recommend this system to everyone as people have different requirements but as a totally standalone, computer independent, wide area, easily manageable (particularly individual kids rooms) system, it’s fantastic.

The price sucks.

That would have sufficed.]]>Jul 8th 2009 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/
the price sucks but I'll still buy one. Probably in a bundle for another 2 zones as well.

All prices suck. (thats for all future engadget posts)]]>Jul 8th 2009 3:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/Jul 8th 2009 4:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/Jul 8th 2009 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/Jul 8th 2009 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/Jul 8th 2009 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/
The funny thing is they tried selling it in the Middle East and China without supporting the local languages... I don't think that went well!!]]>Jul 8th 2009 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/sonos-cr200-remote-controls-product-page-reveals-capacitive-scr/Jul 9th 2009 3:16PM
