Again, this goes back to the availability of embedded solutions with working and stable drivers. At least with 802.11g it is well understood by the Logitech hardware designers. Throwing 802.11n into the development schedule would have been asking for trouble, you also have very few people that would be able to test it properly. I for one would rather have reliable wireless networking that the latest and greatest standard.
It's all right for PC hardware vendors as there is an expectation that you will replace is in a year. With the Squeezebox line, there is an expectation that you will be using it for many years to come. Oh and expect the same reliability and compatibility issues with N gear once they start pumping routers out for $30. Yes, eventually new players will come along with N wireless, just don't expect them soon. And don't criticise the developers for it not being in a product that is launching around the time of the final ratified standard (the standard may be official, but the full spec hasn't been published yet, that will happen sometime in October). -- funkstar my collection: *1*x squeezebox radio *1*x squeezebox touch *1*x squeezebox boom *2*x controller, *1*x receiver *2*x sb3 (sliver/black), *1*x sb2 wired (silver) *1*x sb (black), *1*x slimp3 (with rear shield) interested in any others if you have them! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67882 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
