I still think the main problem is the software. Some people often say most problems comes from what is sitting between the chair and the keyboard. They are completely right, but not in the way they think about it. Most problems come from what is sitting between the chair and the keyboard. It is the developper who cannot understand than such a device MUST WORK FLUENTLY for non tech nor geek people. I already knew some hifi shops who choose Sonos over Squeezebox. I recently spoke with another one I know well (I bought a lot of my hifi stuff in his shop, and haven't noticed he sells Sonos as well). He confirmed he sells Sonos because - it is easy to setup for non tech people - he can support customers easily for most basic problems (he is not a computer guy) - If needed, Sonos support is good, fast, and really fix most problems There is no way he can achieve this and make money selling squeezeboxes. He will have to many problems with all those "stupid customers" sitting between the chair and the keyboard ... One thing Logitech CEO got right about the software is "not complete and not tuned to what the consumers want at the living room" -- nicolas75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91532 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
