There already is iTunes/iPod/iPad. Why do we need another product like that? Many folks listen to music, some "really listen" to music and you can't stream flac or other lossless codecs with iThings. This is and should stay a niche audiophile product imo. I hate all things mainstream, dumbed down for intake by the mass market. I like the uniqueness of the current (old now) products and the slight challenges that come with it. I have learned much about networs, routers, headless severs, RDP, simply by owning these wonderful SlimDevices. IMHO. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Squeezed_Rotel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98450 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
