it turned to be very interesting discussion. observing initial concerns and current stage I would agree with one of posts above that Logitech does great job pushing product around the globe. position and market share could be bigger if we would not have some challenges with the software at the beginning of Duet era. it was a pain to get new concept and combine it with many external services. Logitech did a great job and was definitely one of pioneers in this arena. this software related hurtles hindered product and delayed real launch. I do not know figures, but might guess that they are not so high for duet, but should be much better for Radio and Touch. I personally love touch - it is just great. Even my 5 years old son could handle it. and I would be happy to replace all duets by Touches - just difficult to trigger extra expenses to replace something what works now without any issue.
Sonos, actually, did a great job and it is well presented in many shops around. and what was very surprising, sales people on the floor could explain how it works, could advice configuration and recommend different alternatives. Analyzing this i believe it helped Sonos to capture its market share. Logitech could trigger similar approach, what just could be a bit difficult because most of Logitech products usually just self explanatory and lay on the shelf waiting to be picked up. maggior;676659 Wrote: > What I thought was awesome about the duet was the ability to expand the > system with headless players for little cost.

Really like this product. The only one drop of bitter was software release where connectivity between controller and receiver was an issues. I must admit it was resolver relatively quickly, but still it was a pain for the family for some weeks, right at the beginning, shortly after setup completion. what do you think, how future for this product line looks like, how it will evolve? -- AndreE ============================================================== Duet: 2 Controllers + 4 Receivers and 1 Touch Intel Atom 330 Linux Server wired Ethernet to 1Gb Switch --> Router --> DSL --> net... and happy Family ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndreE's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30476 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92232 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
