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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95603 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
