If this is true, which it might be, and the reason they EOLed squeezebox, then there is only one question: WHY ON EARTH did they immediately announce UE radio, that uses the same hardware and, lets be frank, the same software? That's the bit that makes no sense, dump and piss off what are extremely loyal users and scrap all their hardware, and yet continue with what is all but in relatively minor details the exact same product? If SB was really unworkable, I predict UE radio will continue to burn money then they'll close that down too. Your point about bugs is extremely valid. I am at a loss as to why after so many years there are still glaring bugs in the code. Perhaps it's just that their software engineers are no good? In which case UE radio is not going to work either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7125 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
