I was following many discussions about Squeeze future and about Duet and Touch death. Quite diverse feelings were in my heart. Nothing is forever in this short living technology world. Technologies are coming and leaving the space like comets and brighter they are short their live. It is similar to the moment when Ive moved my big type recorder down to the cellar and let it be there in peace. This was predicted that the solution complexity and usability would be the hindering factor, the speed of occupying shop shelves and rather silent marketing complain all that would be the reason to shorten the product presence on the market. Product did not really take off in big mass and SqueezeBox idea did not gain from the acquisition. It is always goes that way when small and rather successful company is getting into big business by being swallowed. There are not too many success stories there. I hope all founders have been rewarded and we , quite big community out there successfully using these products. I am one of those. I have complete set-up, which functions very well and delights whole family.
In this message I would like to thank you all, who were involved in creation of this product, who has put own heart into it. And also hope that at the day when there will be a decision to sunset entire line or make big move to new technology abandoning the old world full of Duets and Touches, there will be a new LAST version of the Squeeze SERVER, which can be set in the way that it is functioning completely unattached to the Logitech servers securing long life of these nice products, which become part of the family and deserve to stay as part of the family much longer. I really hope that Logitech will make everything to keep vast community happy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndreE's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30476 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96513
