I have been thinking of buying a Squeezebox Radio and was looking at a number of retail and on-line sites for deals.
What is clear is that there is almost no stock in any shops and virtually none on-line. There are none at Dabs, Currys, Richer Sounds or Superfi (my usual choice of UK discount outlets). Amazon is not selling any direct and only have 3 available from a third party seller. The same applies to the Touch. However, you can still get them direct from the Logitech web site (and a few from the usual ramshackle collection of small on-line traders). The optimistic view would be that they are about to release upgraded replacements. The pessimistic view would be that they are about to kill off the Squeezebox line of products altogether. I fear the latter is the most likely scenario. It is very unusual for stock of one generation of a product to be allowed to be sold out completely before the next generation is released. I also think it is ominous that they have renamed Squeezebox Server "Logitech Media Server" - possibly in preparation for killing off the name?
