A small company like SD may not be able to make "Do-it-all" Squeezey (server, GUI, wireless network) that sells for under $500., but that doesn't mean the big guys like Sony, Pioneer,etc which already have DVD recorders w/HDs that sell for $500., won't simply convert these units for use as music/video servers or built these functions into a HT receiver. -- mauidan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mauidan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1679 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24041 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
