iPhone/iPod 2.2 breaks Sonos Controller

After upgrading your iPhone or iPod touch to firmware 2.2 you will no longer be able to control the volume of your Sonos players from the remote. You can tap the slider, but you can't slide it. Mute/unmute works, as (obviously) do the buttons on the players themselves. According to Sonos an update of the controller software should be available shortly. Frustrating App Store process I presume.

Update: Fixed per 29 Nov 08

It's kinda ironic that many owners, myself included, weren't aware of the ability to tap the volume before this problem. I always thought the slider a little too sensitive...tapping rocks!

Maybe we should explain how tapping works. Tap left of the blue dot to decrease volume and tap right of it to increase. This is not obvious at all.

Update to correct this is now in the iTunes store.
