I'm confused' date=' how is a license key on backorder? It's just a number that unlocks the software like every other license key, right?[/quote']

It is actually printed on paper like a 4Sight subscription. No paper no license. I do not think that C4 distributes a soft version of the key.

oh how 1980's of them :)

wonder if this will make the 'new' 7" TS obsolete?

"We’ve got this from three independent sources close to Apple: expect a large screen iPod touch device to be released in the Fall of ‘09, with a 7 or 9 inch screen. Prototypes have been seen and handled by one of our sources, and Apple is talking to OEMs in Asia now about mass production.

Apple has been experimenting internally with large form tablet devices for years, one source says, but there was concern that users wouldn’t like the device. The difference now is the iTunes app store, which has thousands of games and other applications that are perfect for a touch screen device with an accelerometer. Apple says more than 300 million applications have been downloaded since the App Store launched in July 2008. Combine the App Store, iTunes and a browser and you have one heck of a device.

We don’t have any information on pricing. The current iPod touch, with a 3.5 inch screen, starts at $229. The 32 GB model is $399. We expect the price on the larger iPod touch to be significantly higher.

Apple rumors, particularly Apple tablet rumors, tend to come and go. I’m not saying Apple is definitely launching a large form iPod Touch. But sources I trust are saying they are currently planning to, and one source has actually held the device."

wives tend to job with nanos, not 7"/9" ipods. unless maybe you are married to the terminatorette

Yes, which makes my statement funny if you imagine your wife jogging with an iPod tablet.:P

I purchased a license yesterday. Unfortunately, I neither have it installed yet, nor can I justify the price I paid ($299). I bought it because its just plain fun to mess with the house from the ipod touch.

Brad - FYI - "this" installation takes about 20-30 min... it's not as simple as identifying it into the project like other stuff is...

Yes we've solve a few now... they DO MSRP at $299. FYI.

I must be missing something. I watched and the installation took about 30 seconds, not minutes. It was just as simple as identifying it into the project. Once it was identified via Interviewer, it loaded the system info and away we went. But like I said, maybe i missed something.

Anywho, I love it as I never had any TS's in my system because I didn't want something stuck in a wall, wanted handheld control. It's much faster than my handheld remotes, you can see the rooms and the volumes, add and remove rooms, mute rooms, etc...all very easily. Seems like a couple of times it's hung up and I had to exit the app and reconnect and then it was fine.

Do I think $300 is fair? Hmm, that's tough. The interface is great, but then the Sonos iPhone app is equally cool and it's free. I get the part about cutting into their own TS sales (although Sonos did too). I'd actually MUCH rather have this than that big ol' 10" TS. Nothing like carrying your C4 controller, phone, web/email device all in one in your pocket around the house.
