Logitech wouldn't have to sell it and support it themselves, they'd just have to recommend it officially for users that don't want to have a "computer" running. Basically put a link on their web site to the "recommended VortexBox server solution".
The advantage for VortexBox is obvious, the advantage for Logitech is that they get rid of some complains from users that want a server solution that isn't a "computer". Many of these doesn't seem to want a third party solution unless it either has a Logitech logotype or at least is officially recommended by Logitech. I'm not sure exactly how this would work with VortexBox, but I know Logitech has done it with ReadyNAS before and they have also some similar things with the iPhone applications (adding a link to them from their official site). The advantage for the customer would be that they would be able to get a solution with a partner which Logitech officially works together with to offer a good server solution. It would also probably be possible to create some discounts if you buy both a Squeezebox and a VortexBox appliance. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77758 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
