hrm, I don't think so.. certainly there is more complexity and complexity causes problems.. but I'd say the vast majority of problems are "cross platform" (ie, wireless, mysql, some SBS services, etc). > > My question: For slim-experienced and generally technically capable > folks, are the new devices production-stable enough for daily use? > Which is best?

Sounds like Boom or Radio. Which would be ideal depends on the form factor you need, and perhaps portability. (The Boom wins for better/louder sound, but, then the radio can run off batteries... when the sun comes out here I wonder if I should bring my Radio back home to take outside... or keep using the boom for that...) Considering current SBS still supports slimp3's (just not on the touch since the 'slimmer' clients take more server work), I wouldn't worry about "stepchild" products. Now if only other Consumer Electronic products had such a great lifespan. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77447 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
