I think one of the issues has to be the look of the product. Many people like it, but I do think that the Roku and Sonus products have more mass-market appeal. I bought the SB2 for a number of other reasons, predominently sound quality, but also support for 802.11g. I could definitely see other products gaining sales because the SB2 has less shelf appeal, plus it does have a more geeky image than the Roku. Having said all that, I got the best player and it's the one I recommend to others, but I would have liked it more if it came in a more hi-fi case. I'm currently modding my SB2 to remedy this, but I would have pulled the buy trigger faster if it was a more attractive product (to my eyes anyway). -- CardinalFang _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
