Matches my main point pretty well, because that system doesn't require
a computer to be powered on to listen to music :-)
I agree that:
- All Squeezeboxes beside the Touch is uninteresting for mass market
users because they require a computer
- The Touch is uninteresting for mass market users because it's too
expensive, too geeky, doesn't work reliable without a computer and it
doesn't provide the necessary integration with mass market music
library applications (WMP or iTunes)
The Pure-Fi system on the other hand:
- Works without a computer
- Is integrated with the mass market music library application (iTunes)
since you sync the iPod with iTunes
- It has a reasonably low price to make it interesting for mass market
users
