I tend to think, sadly, that for slim devices to make money, they need to integrate video. Audio fans want their crisp neat audio interface, but I think the mass market wants video as well - they want their downloaded tv/movies, they want youtube and netflix and whatever else they are watching.
I'd love something that was a hybrid of the Squeezebox with something like the WD-TV (http://wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=330), give it a simple 2-line display like the old slimp3 for when the TV is off and you just want audio, and a HDMI TV output for video or for more complex music browsing, and the squeezeserver web interface for full power. I'd buy one! (actually I'm not sure how you'd do audio with the tv off - the simplest wiring uses HDMI to send audio as well as video, if you had separate audio cabling it might not play well with HDMI devices.) - Korny On 2 July 2012 17:50, ModelCitizen < modelcitizen.5f2...@no-mx.forums.slimdevices.com> wrote: > > MrSinatra wrote: > > > > i hope logitech sells slim to someone else. i thought they'd be good > > for slim. i was WAY wrong. > Logitech misunderstood this product and messed up development in so many > ways.
