Well, I mainly wanted to point out what you can do. The advertising itself (by Sonos) is bullshit. Especially in it's elevated form (not the one I linked, but didn't immediately find a better link) where they claim that the S5 is "best for iPhone users" while indeed there is absolutely no difference between the S5 and the other Sonos units WRT iPhone support, nothing new here. In fact it's the other way around since lacking controls the S5 is pretty much useless as a standalone device if you do NOT already own an iThingy. But it draws attention. BTW, you are all thinking way tooo complicated on that marketing thing :) Anyway, I think we all agree that promoting 3rd party developers would be the biggest gain for Logitech, but I doubt that 250k$ will buy you a lot here. It's not about money but about a develoment strategy that supports 3rd party development, providing stable APIs and development support. That will cost much more than that, but quite frankly, I believe doing this would save 10 times it's cost even internally (at Logitech) in QA savings. But that's just my 2cts. And in Logitech's defense: they DID try to hire me, almost 2 years ago and if I had accepted, (see Michael's remark) iPeng would now probably be called the Logitech(R) Squeezebox(TM) Controller for iPhone and act exactly like the Squeezebox Controller. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72308 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
