It made a great deal of sense at the time of the sale. SB is a computer based network consumer device, exactly what Logitech does. Add in Logitech's existing worldwide distribution channels of technology and it really makes sense. The fact they botched it through poor marketing and numerous management reshuffles is where they went astray. For SlimDevices it obviously made sense as well, or they would not have sold it. As to the real (or most compelling) reason why? Who knows. Maybe it was as simple as the fact that Logitech brought the largest wallet to the table. My guess is that this garage startup company (SlimDevices) was stretched to the max in resources competing globally against some very big goliaths (like Logitech) and it was one of three options for them. 1) Sell. 2) Get a large cash infusion and double down 3) Let it die a slow death. The real reasons are only known to the parties involved. Maybe Sean just wanted to go fishing. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96213 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
