My personal theory is that their nerd-appeal works against them here. Where it's great for us nerds to read about Perl based 'hackable' servers and plugins, that makes a normal hifi-consumer uncomfortable. The Roku is basically the same device but the software page is a lot less technical ( http://www.rokulabs.com/support/SBSoftwareUpdate.php ). My advice would be to make the technical stuff a bit less 'in your face' and hide it a bit more carefully behind a clear consumer oriented website. The SD team made one important step, the new SB3 looks like something that could sell big. BTW, I've often wondered about the relationship between Roku and SD, is the Roku some kind of clone or spin off? I do like the looks of the Soundbridge Radio. ;) Regards, Peter _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
