Yes, but you overestimate the importance of all the online content sources that some competitors like Roku offer. The most important for video in the US are Netflix, Vudu and Amazon, in that order. For music, online content is a distant second to personal content - just ask Apple about this, they built their whole music business first on Rip, Mix, Burn, then to Rip and Mix and then to buy and download. GoogleTV in general has failed because it was never clear to anyone, including the consumer, what the device was for and it didn't work well enough to allow anyone to use it for discovering the purpose for themselves. Google has had a single consumer success story and that's Android. And the reason for its success is its price, close to free for most OEMs. Even with licensing to MS, it's a lot cheaper than developing your own OS. Logitech would do well to stay far away from any Google software in the future. They'd be better off buying Boxee and spending some time fixing up that platform. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - IR remote solutions for Mac, Boxee Box, Windows and Linux' (http://twistedmelon.com/shop/?show=bug1)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91532 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
