You realize this would be going against the company's whole design philosophy for the Squeezebox and the Transporter? They designed them as -Slim device-, not all-in-one "fat devices". Its one of the things that makes the Squeezebox so brilliant, IMO. All-in-one devices such as the Cambridge, the Olive or the McIntosh music servers are way too expensive for what you're getting. And I'm not at all convinced that they're more convenient. Those small screens look awefully small. OTOH, on my computer, I have a nice 17 inch LCD. -- Nostromo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35881 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
