There are programs for tablets and PDAs to control it. Ilaid, to a layman, looks like cross between the two.

It would be very cool to be able to read while listening to music and change CDs or playlists or songs by highlighting an item on a page in the "book" one is reading from.
You don't want to run the squeeze-server on the iliad, for several reasons. And if the slimserver runs on your pc/server somewhere, you can just access that servers web interface from your iLiad - should be good enough.

Making a custom UI for iLiad will never be done I believe - I can't see any huge demand for it. Perhaps if a suitable program could be easily ported, but I still doubt it.
