Yep very helpful, I did know that the Sonos IOS Apps for example did seem to be accessible.
I saw a review of the Sonos Play:1 earlier today and the reviewer seemed impressed by the sound of this Sonos speaker given its price and its small size, my only disappointment is that the Play:1 will only work with the Sonos Bridge, that is to say it doesn't have a line-in jack etc whereas everything else I have here - all my AirPlay equipment for example - does, just a slight irritation and - if the Play:1 is as good as its claimed - then this irritation wouldn't stop me from buying one.
