Here's Apple's new toy, the iPad (if only M.Config were available for it)...

Fab product launch...all the info customer's want to see. Of course, Apple are masters at this and have tons of marketing resources to get it right. Even the price is a surprise, this time. Well done, Apple!

Also, run Sonos controller software! And be an iPhone w/o a plan. Hmmm does that mean the iPhone will drop in price?

Very interesting development ... now I am thinking that I will wait on buying the iTouch I was planning to buy.

OK, not being an Apple user, can someone tell me how to spec & config a served system for an 861/DSP8000 set-up with an iPad?

I'd certainly rather interact with this than a bulky Sooloos wired touch panel.

Also, care to speculate on price, quality, ease of use vs. a Sooloos 861V6/808.3 combo?

Very interested to hear views!

Mac Mini and an iPad will do what you want, total cost around �1000 and has a seriously slick interface too.

I can't wait for this iPad, if only as an awesome remote for playing back media files.

I think this is going to be more revolutionary than we first think it is.

Care to comment on how this will compare to a Sooloos front-end?

Pros/cons?
