This isn't the argument, at least not the one I'm trying to make. It's purely a marketing, image, product positioning move. I don't expect iPeng or any other 3rd party development would be automatically improved by Logitech taking ownership, and agree that the opposite is a real risk. However, I'm already a Squeezebox devotee hook line and sinker, read these boards daily, and love to tinker with this stuff. So given that, I have no issue or discomfort with iPeng being 3rd party. But from a broader perspective, considering potential new customers, I think it's a detriment to the product line that the iPhone app isn't directly associated with Logitech. And without reading these boards, one could reasonably come to the conclusion that a non-Logitech app isn't going to work as well as an official app (i.e. Sonos.) Although I'm not a developer (wish I had the time to develop those skills,) I echo the benefits that could be derived from better and more consistent support for 3rd part development. And I'd extend the argument to improving front-end support/integration as well as back-end API support. As an example from an end user perspective, it was way too difficult to get weather to appear on my Boom. -- 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 discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
