I don't agree that the iphone/itouch solution is a huge factor. Reason being it is a personal solution. I have four people in my house. If I had an iPhone with iPeng software, it may very well be handy for me - it is not, however, handy for anyone else in the household, nor do I think I would be real comfortable passing it around at a party.
I think it's great that it is an option - and a very viable one. Even if it does cannibalize some SBC sales, I think it offers value to Logitech in that it adds value to their other products and fills a void that they don't and probably can't really fill - a personal device that is on you most all the time. Video -- not sure. It would be a cool addition, but audio and video are two completely different products. I am perfectly happy having my "squeezenetwork" be my audio solution. I have a completely separate IP video solution that I'm pretty happy with too for the time being. Not sure it's in anyone's best interest for slim to try to be the best video solution and the best audio solution out there. Let's focus on what we know, make it better, make it appeal to a wider audience, make it easy for the technically challenged. The potential audio market is huge as IP audio takes over traditional audiom, we are only at the very beginning stages. Some strides have to be made to make it feasible for Joe Sixpack to be able to: 1.) afford it. 2.) understand how to make it work. Video would cloud & complicate the issue at a time when it probably doesn't need to be clouded or complicated. A good video solution would be very cool - but a whole 'nother development team would likely be needed so that the audio side of things wouldn't suffer. There's a lot to be said for not spreading yourself too thin and not trying to be the best at everything. -- 86atc250r ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 86atc250r's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15476 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62455 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
