Many companies have made an excellent and profitable business out of catering to niches such as 'geeks, tweekers and audio nuts' (think Naim, Linn, Meridian, etc). It's fairly basic economic theory that niche markets are often far more profitable, higher-margin, less-competitive sectors than the mass market and attract a customer base with higher than average disposable income/discretionary expenditure funding who tend to be brand loyal in their field of interest.
Slim Devices might want to become more mass-market, but it's by no means an imperative. -- Fifer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fifer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=639 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21126 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
