Welcome to this overdue update. The CR100 was badly lacking a toich screen. I have 2 of them but decided to try the ipod touch - this offers more satisfying experience especially when you need to search an artist or track (due to the touch screen).
Sonos will need to be careful about pricing. At the moment, the ipod touch is significantly cheaper than the CR100.
If this is going to cost much more than an ipod touch, then I can see people still opting for the ipod touch.
Hmm, I'm still a big fan of the Squeezebox. Open source, lots of plugins, and a bunch of ipod control options (I use the iPeng app in addition to a squeezzebox Controller). The only place they fall down is that they don't have a mesh network, but I can live without this, especially since I'm about to install a wired network in the house.
Not quite sure why anyone would now buy a CR100 rather than a much cheaper, slicker and more capable iPod Touch to control their Sonos. I can see the CR200 being irrelevant before it even launches unless it has some especially clever features or its price significantly undercuts the Touch.
