Where can I get one? - Nice. I'll put that on my wish list. - Not for me, but it sure is pretty. - Lame idea.

Much as I love the speculation and ideas in these threads, I thought I'd hop in to clarify a few things. Why Infrant? Because they are great partners for us. We definitely don't want to start telling our customers to use certain third party products, but when another company does something that will potentially help our customers we feel obliged to let everyone know. Infrant do something we know a large number of customers want, they do it very well and they are keen to do more to make their products relevant for our customers . . we feel that's worth shouting about. Oh, and they're great folks into the bargain. Why this bundle? It's marketing, folks. We know it may not meet everyone's particular requirements (see my post in General), but it helps journalists and potential new customers understand how the two products might fit together in the real world. It certainly seemed to have generated some press interest, so hopefully that means more forum members soon. Other Infrant configurations are available through Amazon.com and other good retailers. But it's sooo expensive! Yep, but it is a $300 saving off full MSRP. And bear in mind many people are looking to store a lot more than just music. If you want a chunck of fast and very secure storage, the price of the Infrant solution is very reasonable. If you don't need so much space or other functions, it's probably not the right product for you right now. Of course, the 2 Squeezeboxes included in the bundle are astoundingly well priced for such beautiful and powerful products ;-) -- Jez Jez Hildred Senior Manager - Sales & Marketing Slim Devices, Inc. http://www.last.fm/user/Kadosh/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jez's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4300 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24534 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
