I don't think it is a market for a company like Logitech, and I don't think your figures are realistic. They lost $100M in this revue thing ... How much can they make with your market of hifi nerds ? You know, developing software for nerds is not that hard. They hardly care for user friendly behavior. The more tricky it is, the more they love it. Start this business and make money ! Don't wait for Logitech to enter this market before you do :) -- nicolas75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91460 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
