Interesting how many people in this thread seem to think they have
unusual insight into what Logitech "should be" doing as respects their
product line up. 

As a profitable company that's been around for awhile, I strongly
suspect they have more than a few people who know what they're doing
when it comes to making a buck. I think the odds are pretty good that
they've done some market research and have a good idea where they are
going from here. Maybe they don't want to compete with the video
streamers with sub $100 Rokus and the like. Sometimes a company finds it
more profitable fulfilling a smaller niche than competing in a more
congested, lower priced market.

Same thing with the video screen. Some portion of market would love a
screenless player, but what's the percentage? Would those sales justify
the design, production & distribution costs? Once again, we're pitting
our rather biased individual preferences against a company that is in
the business, has access to a lot more info, and is probably a shade
more dispassionate about the whole matter. 

Yes, there are any number of companies that I wish would bend the
specifics of their product a bit more to my liking. Sometimes a company
takes heed of customer input and sometimes they don't. It's just rather
unrealistic to think that every idea I have is going to end up a high
priority for a manufacturer.

I'm not in the consumer electronics field, but after 35 years in the
business world I know that decisions often include quite a bit of info
that is pretty much invisible to those on the outside. Sure, sometimes
in hindsight a business may wish they'd made a different decision, but
if they are successful in their industry, the overall odds lay on their
side of the court.
