A couple of years ago I'd go into a bar and the bartender would be playing tunes from an iPod, with very few exceptions. Now, I don't see many iPods. Instead, they play Pandora through their smart phones. I think we're less than a decade away from this being the main form of music play for the vast majority of people. It's where Logitech wanted to take the Squeezebox line, but failed miserably. I can still see them returning to this mass market, but they'll need to do it by churning out cheap boxes by the tens of thousands for well under $100 to do it. The Squeezebox product line as we once knew it is dead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95603
