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.



Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known
