Comments for The New Sonos CR200 Controller at http://www.automatedhome.co.uk , comment 1 to 8 out of 8 comments http://www.automatedhome.co.uk Wed, 17 Mar 2010 22:33:50 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/The-New-Sonos-CR200-Controller.html#comment-516 Sadly it provides little reason for existing owners to upgrade at this price... perhaps if it showed my photo library as well - surely not too hard? Sonos is a great audio system, perhaps they should extend their skills to other media. My Wife would love to be able to show the occasional photo (albeit low res) to a friend without a PC - this is an opportunity missed for existing owners. In short, modernising the controller - well done, functional innovation - must try harder. - Big Al Mon, 03 Aug 2009 22:52:44 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/The-New-Sonos-CR200-Controller.html#comment-514 Well I've seen it running now and I have to say it's pretty quick. the search is excellent and having hard vol buttons does make a difference. The Sonos iPhone app 3.0 hasn't shipped out today which is a shame - The Masked Installer Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:17:53 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/The-New-Sonos-CR200-Controller.html#comment-511 resolution's pretty irrelevant Volume buttons are a big plus - the iPhone app is not good in that regard. Battery life may or may not be a significant factor launches tomorrow - dealers are still embargoed from releasing more details - The Masked Installer Mon, 27 Jul 2009 17:28:40 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/The-New-Sonos-CR200-Controller.html#comment-504 In a nutshell the new controller will have a higher resolution screen (640 x 480) be quicker in operation, has separate volume control buttons (rather than being embedded within the app on the iPhone), the CR200 will obviously have a superior battery life (charging cradle is now included) UK price will be £279. - RT Fri, 17 Jul 2009 07:48:03 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/The-New-Sonos-CR200-Controller.html#comment-495 Searching the Sonos website for CR200 brings up a page for the CR200 datasheet - but no content as it's not been published yet. Must be nearly ready to go. It's going to be interesting to see what it offers (if anything) over the iPhone interfce - The Masked Installer Sun, 12 Jul 2009 08:01:20 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/The-New-Sonos-CR200-Controller.html#comment-493 Can I be the first to say "Strewth, that looks ugly" I'm going to be writing about Sonos and its place in the commercial install market soon. We've had reasonable notice of a touch screen CR100 replacement for a few months now and having seen this I'm very keen for the details to be released. Initial thought - yes, but I've got an iPhone / iPod touch... - The Masked Installer Thu, 09 Jul 2009 20:27:01 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/The-New-Sonos-CR200-Controller.html#comment-488 Huh, isnt that the iphone interface pasted in there? It shows a phone signal even. - Chris Sat, 04 Jul 2009 07:37:06 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/The-New-Sonos-CR200-Controller.html#comment-486 For more Automated Home news check the website as well: http://www.automatedhome.co.uk - Gerard Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:25:04 +0100
