Note the business unit name that they've given the old Slim Devices: "Streaming Media Systems". I suspect that SD will be tasked with producing any number of new streaming products, including those that do video. Since the buyout, all of the former employees of SD have been conspicuously absent from these forums. Sean is the only one that pokes his head in from time to time. Dean Blackletter has all but disappeared. And at the same time development on SlimServer has slowed to a crawl. I suspect there's a lot going on at the former SD. I just hope that it'll be beneficial to current product owners. We'll have to see, but I'm betting soon there will be some product announcements and new directions that will be a little unsettling to the audiophile crowd. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31935 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
