Yea and I just got the email saying it shipped today.

The kids get mad because they sit in the back and can't change XM channels and can't pause /play the movies.

Now they can ......... if my wife doesn't take control of it .

It looks like there is a good chance this will do it....what Front end are you running? Nothing else there is a touchpad for mouse movements

I'm running RR with the standard skin.

I have a touchpad already that works fine, just need something more mobile

This is mobile for sure.....it did look like a play button forward and reverse and volume on it..dont know if it will work with RR. Hopefully it will. Im not sure what frontend im going to run yet. RR or G-Net or maybe just Xp no front end. I really like the look of the new iTunes with the fullscreen album covers that are reflected and is easy to see

After looking at this I would think it will work just fine with RR. Since it looks to need no drives I would think is is using all the standard control fictions built into XP for media play and so on. That being said since RR uses winamp which can uses those same controls to control Play, Pause, FF, RR Volume and so on I think it will work fine.
