I can't imagaine we will see a transporter #2, the market for £1000 streaming network players is very small. While Meridian, Naim and others can charge premium prices for streamers, it doesn't seem to fit the Logitech biz model, and I am not sure the Logitech brand name would support that level of pricing ex the loyal Slim following. The transporter does give the rest of the Slim range audiophile credibility, and there is value in that, but why design a new model?
The world has moved on in the 9 or so years that Slim have been around. I do think the real challenge for logitech streaming media will be video, and with products like the HDX1080 being given away (I don't know how they make the box for the price they charge, let alone put anything in it) it is going to be a tough battle. Having said that, the Boom is clearly a quality product at a reasonable price so perhaps there remains a growing market for audio only streaming media.
