The issue is the time frame and level of support, not their good intentions or whether they mean what they say......... now. Time Frame: Technically they could shut down MySB.com tomorrow and Dudley's statement would still be accurate because they "continued support" for a period of time after they discontinued the SB hardware players. In this hypothetical and nonsensical case, a few months time frame. So the question is: what is a reasonable time frame? One year? Two years? Five years? Ten years? Every party involved (users, third party developers, subscription services, Logitech) will all have their own idea of a "reasonable" time frame. Support Level: Even if MySB.com exists five years from now, at what level? How often might we see outages? How long to fix broken Apps and services? Service providers like Rhapsody may update their API, how long for (any remaining) techs to update the MySB side? What services will even be available on MySB two years from now? But noone knows the answers including Logitech. It's the great unknown of time frame and service level that won't be answered until it happens. The one big ace in the SB hole is the similarity between MySB.com and UESmartRadio.com. Being so similar it likely would not take a monumental effort to keep MySB running & updated if they are doing the same for UE..... for as long as UE lasts anyway. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96999 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
