Regarding official information, for what it's worth, I think the
official response from Logitech is the one found here:
http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Squeezebox-Players/Logitech-UE-Smart-Radio/td-p/884530

Which says:

And we also have the unofficial response from mherger found here:

Finally, Logitech have never previously and will likely never in the
future comment on future products or services, which is really what most
of us are asking them to do but it's something they will never do. It
would have been better if they had announced a UE Smart Radio and a US
Smart Touch at the same time, but I can also understand that it was
important for them to at least get a product out before the Christmas
season so they didn't want to delay all products until they had a more
complete UE family (if that's their plan).

The information in both the above sources makes me personally satisfied
as I believe it means that Logitech will maintain Squeezebox long enough
for someone else to provide an alternative that fills the hole they have
left. Even though I don't think it's likely, they might fill it
themselves with new products in the UE Smart Radio family, but if they
don't someone else eventually will. If there is a need and a market,
there is a potential business for someone.
