Been using iPeng for almost 2 years now, bought Squeezepad too, both of
which have become evolved into fine apps. Out of curiosity I installed
the Logitech app yesterday, but got fed-up when I had to enter my
online-account. Why would they need that for a controller? Deleted it.

Even still, the way I see it, the situation is good for all of us.
Sonos was getting much publicity because their system could be
controlled with their free app, now that Squeezebox has something
similar, the platform hopefully becomes more popular. And since the
pricing is much friendlier, hopefully the system will become
mainstream. With that, it gets more interesting for Logitech to finally
bring out some new players. 

For sure, developers will need to find another way of generating profit
out of their apps in order to keep developing. The idea of creating a
free/add-version proposed a few pages ago might be a good solution. I
don't know about pricing, but I imagine if somebody uses the app for a
few months and plays with for half an hour a day, the add-revenues will
more than rise over the €7.99 you get when selling the app.
