Does this mean I can create database references, access databases, and pretty much do whatever I want?

Yes. The only thing you can't do is load activex controls or anything that has a GUI component since everything has to use Direct3D and the StreetDeck UI.

As soon as the new StreetDeck website is done with services for supporting developers we will be releasing more information on using the SDK.

Outstanding, but I guess I will have to wait to figure out what all is available... in the mean time I'll just wait patiently in silent anticipation

(I am going to also assume the gui components within SD are going to be accessible or bindable for titles, returned info, etc...). SD has an interface I know better then the palm of my hand

Do we have an ETA on getting the info on the SDK?

I'm not good with ETAs, but its the next thing that will happen after were satisfied that the released version is now stable.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but since we're talking about wishes...
Can a feature be added to bookmark a spot in a playlist? I ask as it relates to listening to audio books (i.e. audible.com). If I want to stop listening to the book and switch to another playlist (to listen to music) can it be made that the audio book playlist remember where I was in the audio file. Seems like I wouldn't be the only one to appreciate this.

We could if we had access to the sdk

Sorry I know I am a pain in the *** but this really needs to be changed ASAP. I have never seen such a (sorry the word) stupid design - an on-screen keyboard in alphabetic order. Mostly you see QWERT or SMS-type pads but not in alphabetic order.

Does anybody using streetdeck at all? I am wondering that no other users are frustrated with this. Everytime I want to enter an address it takes me ages to find the letters...

The same is true with the music navigation. It is just useless. I am always open for new things but I definitely don't want this design. Please, please put this as a HIGH priority into your next release.

..the above and keyboard arrow-selectable letters and I'lll be set!

You could always create a new skin and arrange the buttons how you like...including putting the artist/album/genre buttons on the main music page for easy accessibility. You don't offer any ideas for improved music navigation...what would be a better setup, in your opinion?

Studies have been done and have found that people use both easily.
