    Technically the Touch does have a speaker (along with an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor), but thats just for the startup and menu sounds, not for playback.

    It will be interesting to see what other uses it could have once the community start writing their own apps for these two new players.

    Just to clarify things, the Touch doesn't just playback from USB or SD it acts as a server running a stripped back version of SqueezeCenter. This gives you a much more powerful interface to your music, it's far more than just a list of your music like most car head units do. You can also you the Touch and the center piece to a whole house audio system, serving multiple players with the same or seperate music streams.

    I'm itching for a squeezebox boom atm, keeping my fingers crossed that they will drop to £150 on amazon again.

    Yeah, but can it play crysis at 1280 x 1024???

    ...

    Seriously, I presume these things are compatible with Window Home Server, if one keeps one's music collection on a server? I'm getting on very well with itunes/ bonjour/ firefly on my PCs, but in our next house, having network tune access would be v good.

    There is a native installer for SqueezeCenter 7.4 on WHS. Currently 7.4 is in Beta but is required for Radio and Touch, so will be the official release by the time they are available.

    For 7.3.3 (the current release) there is a way to get it installed on WHS, but I don't know the details. I think it required you to remote desktop in and install it like you would on a regular windows desktop. It does work though, and instructions should be easy to find.
