If enough people decided not to get SB players then sales will drop
enough that eventually Logitech will shut down the unit.  If these
devices get discontinued and the development team gets redeployed to
other Logitech units then everyone here will suffer.  While
SqueezeCenter will still be available and distributable (being open
source), development will be severely affected.  Also no new firmware
for any Logitech/SD device.
