looking at the 8.0/1 roadmap I don't see the software making any significant functional strides. It seems to me that there are two things happening: - catering for implementation on embedded systems - tinkering at the edges of existing functionality to address bugs/ tweak features etc.
All told, when the above is achieved, we're going to have more or less exactly what we have today in functional terms, except plugin developers whose plugins interact with the db are being forced to move support to a different db layer (that is if they want their plugins to continue to operate). The technological aspect of the Squeezebox offering is no longer a differentiator. The biggest opportunity that's being squandered here is that of content, allowing users to interact with their music collections in ways that are meaningful to them. Someone else is going to do it and that'll herald sunset for the SB line. -- egd '*Transporter*' (http://www.logitechsqueezebox.com/products/transporter.html) > '*SCA2*' (http://www.atc.gb.net/sca2.htm) > '*SCM100SL AT*' (http://www.atc.gb.net/scm100slat.htm).
