@Lionelzwl2012 posted:Dave alluded to possibly a new cab3 remote in the distant future. If we as legacy users use our voice to let lionel know this would be a win win for both parties. Let them know it would sell as well as the cab2. Then if you have optimism and just wait lionel r&d out. I truly belive a cab3 remote will come at some point in the future. Ryan and dave may seem slow to listen,but I belive they are listening and looking at the market place.
I personally won't hold my breath for a new hardware remote. I think it's in Lionel's best interest to let someone else make the hardware and they develop the APP. While I love my remote and will baby it for the foreseeable future it's just too darn easy to add a feature and map a button on an app to make that feature work. It's also a lot easier not to have to design, build, and service remotes.
I believe Dave and Ryan listen to everything but like any business has to determine what is feasible based on technology, company, and consumer. I for one think if an integrated hardware platform like a gaming control could be mapped, and it's on Dave's radar then that will solve a lot of remote angst. Until then I will take good care of my Cab2s and transition further into the APP world.
