But also more mucking about to get setup.
If IT people are choosing other products due to some of these issues what chance of non-IT people taking on SqueezeBox?
As to cost:
The cheapest SqueezeBox (wired) I can find in the Uk is �141 (inc VAT) this is over $250. The NetGear MP101 is �80 (inc. VAT) and works with 80211.g.
I would always choose a SlimDevices product - but the two people I spoke of did not. This makes me worried about SlimDevices, they have one product and the competition has caught up (for the major features) and are cheaper.

A very quick search shows that in the UK the difference between a
wired and wireless SB is �50 (and with the drop in the price of the
wired SB it will soon be more than that). Netgear, DLink and Linksys
G bridges are all available delivered for less than �55 so hardly
significant.
