The one browser work is a good thing, so let's not question why it's
done. 

>From the third party perspective, we will hopefully get a XML Browser
solution that's possible to use for non online radio related plugins.
>From a SBS perspective it will hopefully mean that we will get standard
browse menus that are consistent between all interfaces. From a third
party client (iPeng and similar) perspective it might result in that it
will be possible to get rid of some of the special cases that exist
today because the current browse menus isn't based on the XML Browser
concept. 

However, it would be really great if there was a roadmap that indicated
what's planned for the SBS and SqueezeOS platform and approximately when
we can expect it to happen. An updated roadmap that changes once a month
is a lot better than no roadmap at all. I would be very worried if
Logitech doesn't already have an internal one, at least in their mind,
so it should just be a matter of making it available to the public. If
it can't be available to the public it would be great if at least all
senior third party developers could get access to it. I personally have
no problem if I had to sign a NDA to get access to the roadmap. If
Logitech wants to keep senior members and third party developers in
this community, I think it's really time that they start to think about
communicating their plans with them. I don't expect them to reveal
future products, I just expect that we get some kind of information
about things that might affect third party developers and senior beta
testers.
