It is very important function. In general my opinion - the adapter iceLinkPlus is much more functional than the adapter DICE !

The DICE allows the iPod to remain in iPod UI and grant full access to the Clickwheel while connected - unlike the ice>Link.
DICE allows Song titles, Artist
and Album text while that specific song is in play. The problem with the ice>Link is that if you have an artist that begins in the middle the the alphabet - you must press the next arrow repeatedly to get there. Also, the DICE kits are much more stable than the ice>Link, which have proven to be unreliable and fail after about a year and Dension's support is limited, or non-existent.
Essentially, it's two differnet kits that offer different features. Getting text display from the iPod while remaining in iPod UI is something that no other manufacturer can claim.
We would call the DICE a huge "leap" forward and not a step in terms of iPod integration.
