Logitech need to sell products in volume - it is the way their business operates. They have tried to move the Squeeezebox away from the enthusiast community with their new products and have found the current software meets the needs of 99% of owners. In which case why should they bother with anything other than shifting boxes and making money? The upstart Network Media Jukeboxes are coming out of companies that resemble the Slim Devices of old - cutting edge and working with users to refine their product. Many have fallen by the wayside but Popcorn Hour seems to be hanging in there. Yes, it is an enthusiast device at present although the interface is getting slicker and it is quite stable with regular updates. Western Digital has taken an interest in NMJ's and released their own version, the WD Live TV Hub, so I think they are becoming accepted into the mainstream.
The ideal would be a Squeezeserver device that can also deal with video/photos/internet. Seems to me Logitech have a great platform to work from with a huge installed base who could easily be convinced to add a multi-media SB 'Watch' to their network. -- Heuer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Heuer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2543 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87951 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
