It was a long wait, but the Logitech Squeezebox Touch in was worth the wait: if you are going to decide the exact hole it fills in your home entertainment set up, that is, and this may be a niche audience. While we love to build and features a small center of music at home, in several major shortcomings mean that it is best left as a quaint bed side alarm clock or kitchen music player, not on top of the Hi-Fi in the living room.

For newcomers to the line of Squeezebox Logitech about music streamers, Logitech Squeezebox Touch may look like O2 calendar Joggler, you configure the controller, as well as web widgets, color touch, definitely give this impression. It is smaller and lighter than the calendar, but surprisingly similar.

On the back of Logitech Squeezebox Touch, you’ll find stereo analog, digital optical and coaxial digital output sockets to the loudspeakers, and headphones jack 3,5 mm, you probably will not use a lot, Ethernet connector (There’s 802.11 b / Mr. Wi-Fi, a) and a USB port for a locally stored music is a little too close to everything else, to take all your various forms of memory cards. But central to the Logitech Squeezebox Touch is a 4,3-inch capacitive touch screen to scroll through music and choose what to play with the product. It’s bright, and how to react, how nice Sonos CR200 remote control screen, thus introducing Login details never difficult, and offers an inertial scrolling to weave through lists with Flick.

Logitech Squeezebox Touch really works, allowing the computer to connect to music to save the network, and then allow you can play through external speakers. Although he does not support video on that gorgeous screen (This is too small to be a lot of shame), Logitech, of course, covers all the grounds for Audio, MP3, WAV, AIFF, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, and even Apple Lossless and FLAC format support to save the audio purists happy.

Of course, jumping on home networks is not always an easy task for technophobes (Ever tried to explain the concept of DLNA to your gran?), But Logitech Squeezebox Touch could not be easier to configure. He got our home Wi-Fi with no problems and connected in seconds. On the desktop end, it uses the same Squeezebox server software that works with other models in the range, and it’s available for PC, Mac and even Linux, which Logitech, certainly deserves praise for. We tested it with the Snow Leopard MacBook Pro: on OS X, is a fast 32.1MB download which is integrated in the system settings and allows you to specify a folder or just use ITunes collection. Once this is done, you’re away playing a song, and skip through music with the comfort of your sofa.

Touch Logitech Squeezebox Touch was designed not only for the cover though. If you saw our hands back in October last year, you know that the Logitech Squeezebox Touch uses a network connection to suck down and pump out Internet radio, and even check Facebook and Flickr. Applications for the system is rather limited, and there are several design and configuration problems with the image of the slideshow, but the music service excellent: as well as Last.fm, Napster has support, so if you have subscribed, you can play all the tunes you want.

Unfortunately, our fears, we expressed at that time had already been confirmed by testing too.Logitech Squeezebox Touch really suffering from blocked on a network connection. This is all very good opportunity to flip through a visual list of everything in your home network, but no screen on a tiny set of the remote means that you have to get up and wander about the choice, killing all the comfort and ease of use. Or buy the Squeezebox Duet remote and receiver, but also for the extra £ 289, which slides you right to the territory of the price of Sonos.

With Logitech Squeezebox Touch is trying to do, do it in. But with such R & D time, Logitech could really push the boat, and let you take the screen part of a block away from the base to create a touch-sensitive tablet removed. As is, this one for use as a bedside alarm clock, or in the kitchen.
