While I as an employee have not always been happy with what decisions were taken, your list of criticism isn't fair. And it's a very personal list of issues too. Let's look at it another way:
> 1. Unnecessarily changed the devices to linux computers to increase > complexity that their company's programmers can't handle. - users were asking for more codec support on the device - users were asking for artwork display - users were asking for a simple streaming solution - ... A change was needed because users wanted a lot which the old platform couldn't do any more. It's probably not the changes _you_ wanted, but a large part of our customer base did. > 2. Dropped the important digital out on most of their products except > top of the line. Consumers ended up with not much choices. What's your bottom of the line? Radio or the now dropped Classic? There are different products: with or without speakers. Those without speakers have digital out. Those with speakers don't. It's a different use case with different features. Not much choices? There used to be two products (Classic, Transporter). Today there are five (Transporter, Duet, Radio, Touch, Boom). > 3. In this age of global village, Logitech dropped support to display > international character sets. It's unfortunate that support for _some_ international characters was dropped. But others were added at the same time. And it's for sure not dropping all of them. > 4. Discontinued useful functions when their programmer cannot solve > their own problem. eg. Remote number keys for favorites; constant > digital out level while having variable analogue out, etc. If you were following these forums you'd know that a.) the remote keys are still fully functional, though probably not the way you like it, and b.) is being added for the next major release. > 5. Newer software even less stable than older version. Again your POV, no facts. Numbers of support cases prove different. -- Michael _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
