I think a Controller2 would make sense. Just think of a Touch without cables and just a battery/stand. It could compete with any phone because the screen is larger (I'm still no friend of iPeng or SqueezeCommander, though they do their best on the small screen), and it could (hopefully) compete with any tablet because of the price tag.
Then let's also not forget, that most people first see the product line, only a few search the web if there are alternative controls for phones/tablets that could replace any of Logis devices. Many people write 'I first had a controller, now I'm using yours ..', so there is definitely a consumer market for a better controller. And packet together with a receiver like the Duet it would still make a great appeal in shops and on Amazon. I think Logitech has got a great asset with Squeezeboxes. As seen on this thread, for each Squeezebox there is an 'easy to do' upgrade, when they just mix their known products (i.e. Boom II) or just upgrade them (i.e. Touch II). At least on the software side they don't need to do much - it's just the hardware guys that are asked to provide new casings. I'd bet on Boom II. -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com)* - -now featuring streaming to iPad!- Want to see a Weather Forecast on your Radio/Touch/Controller ? => why not try my 'Weather Forecast Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73827) Want to use the Headphones with your Controller ? => why not try my 'Headphone Switcher Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67139) Setup: 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 2xSB-Radio Server (7.5.x) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85982 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
