Question: What do you think about the new SD NAS device?
    
- Awesome! Where can I get one?
- Nice. I'll put that on my wish list.
- Not for me, but it sure is pretty.
- Lame idea. Have the SD folks lost their minds?

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 ;-)
