Sonos Controller Updates - much slicker

Sonos have just released a new version of their Sonos controller and it is a vast improvement over the old model. It has a very iPhone-like touch screen eith just the feel it to in scrolling and selecting - which is interesting because the Sonos iPhone/iPod Touch app has been around for almost a year now and they must have spent a long time playing with that interface and mimicking it.
It comes with a cradle which is a blessed relief (so now we don't have to add £30 of plastic per controller onto each quote which was an egregious waste of money) and is altogether much neater.
I would recommend an upgrade for all existing users with one exception - the new controller does not have the rubbery water resistance of the old one so best to keep a couple of the originals in hand for the garden and bathroom zones.
