Yes and this, along with their failure to understand the strengths of the product, led them to squander it.
I still think the Touch a silly confused device (yeah I know), the receiver/conroller a very badly designed bizarre oddity (set up anyone?) and Logitech's blind spot to the crucial nature of third party handhelds as controllers completely stupid. The radio was brilliant though and should have been used as a basis for a Boom II. A simple black box, no screen, no knobs player and then an audiophile version would have been good too. Very simple to produce an audiophile player and then sell with astronomical audiophile markup (serves them right!), perhaps partnering with respected small audiophile partner for branding. Oh well. Easy in hindsight.
