The first development is obvious. A lot more people want networked audio and companies like Sonos are doing well. You can quantify the size of the market by looking at sales volumes. The second development is that the variety of networked audio systems available has increased and some solutions out there are pretty mature. Also, I'd argue that the systems which focus on streaming (as opposed to local content in a client-server model) have been able to catch up as streaming services have become ubiquitous. Thus, the competition is fiercer than back in the day, making a re-entry by Logitech less profitable. I'm not sure which development dominates. In some sense, the two developments are also intertwined. In a larger market, more niche products tend to survive. So maybe has enough of a unique product to succeed. It's also interesting to see that other firms still find it worthwhile to enter the market. E.g., look at LG which just came out which a bunch of Google Cast for Audio networked speakers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ poing's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63617 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103588 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
