There are many reasons it might not be a good idea for Logitech to formally hire Pippin (namely, Pippin may not be interested.) However, I believe Logitech would be well served by formally sponsoring and branding the iPeng app. To a new customer, I think it looks sloppy that the app is (1) not free and (2) not associated with Logitech in any way.
Full disclaimer, I own iPeng, love it, was worth every penny, etc. I am not arguing that Pippin should not be compensated for his fantastic app. Rather I'm trying to look at it from the perspective of someone not already immersed in the Squeezebox community / mindset. We on this board understand the power and benefit of the open source approach, but the masses do not. And for my 2 cents, I think it gives the appearance (on the surface) of not being a fully integrated, credible, and clean solution that Logitech is not formally associated with the app. Again, I mean no criticism of Pippin or iPeng here, rather that Logitech's strategy on this front could be improved. -- ajkidle 2x SBR, Boom, Radio, iPeng ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ajkidle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18929 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72308 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
