The Logitech Squeezebox Touch Exists

Rumors about a touchscreen Squeezebox have been persistent in the last few months. Logitech recently broke their silence and formally announced the Squeezebox Touch. It looks to be an affordable solution for people who want something a bit more than what the previous models were capable of doing, namely 24/96 playback. This is huge, considering that the only other product in the lineup that plays back 24/96 resolution files is the Transporter, at the tune of $2,000. The touch will have an MSRP of around $300.

There will be some key differences between the Transporter and the Squeezebox Touch. The main one being that the touch does not have balanced outputs. It is only single-ended RCA, which is fine for everyone but the discriminating audiophile.

The Squeezebox Touch will come equipped with a 4.3-inch 24-bit color LCD with capacitive touch, 802.11b/g WiFI (still no N support Logitech??), ethernet, USB drive and SD card support. Pandora, Sirius and Last.Fm, support is also here. If you have an iPod touch or an iPhone, then I fully recommend that you use the iPeng app to control any squeezebox product. It’s brilliant.
