I can see your point, because the massmarket is clearly using Windows and is used to closed source applications. They are probably also more used to fat than slim devices.
But... If I were Logitech and I liked to develop a Windows based solution with fat device hardware, I have a hard time to motivate why to buy Slim Devices. From my point of view the two major things that is unique with Slim Devices as a company are: - Experience with open source based solutions where developing the software together with the community is important. - Experience with slim hardware devices Sure, the audio quality is good, but to be honest, there are other companies that have more experience in making good audio products than Slim Devices. So, to me it seems like there must have been better alternatives available to Logitech if they were interested in making mass market fat devices supported by a Windows application. But you might be seeing something that I don't. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35881 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
