I think this makes more sense than a new player.  If Logitech could
come up with an iTouch like universal remote, with both WiFi and IR,
full integration with Squeezebox players, at a reasonable price point,
that just seems like a winner to me.  Plus, if successful, this would
breath new life into both existing and future SB player sales.

IMO Logitech have missed the mark for SB players in three main
categories, and your Harmony idea addresses one of them (#3).
1.  Marketing:  try finding a SB at a retailer
2.  Stability:  player itself, but mostly SBS and MySB.com
3.  Product Integration:  Harmony?  Boom sub?  Separate speakers for
players?  Addl single speaker for Radio?

Granted Logitech does not make high end audio accessories, but why not
offer an accessories link to their EXISTING products for possible
add-ons?
