Similar comment at http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/slim-devices-transporter-exclusive-first-look-of-the-ultimate-audio-streamer-189484.php , 3rd one down. The Transporter is an audio player. Slim doesn't even call it a media streamer themselves, they call it a "network music player" (see main page). So why are people upset there's no video?? We never hear comments like this directed at audiophile CD players ("$20K and no video?!?") so why at this device? If we're going to list the things it doesn't have, it doesn't have steel-belted radials either. Everyone and their dog does video. Not many companies do audio exclusively, and even fewer do it well. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25810 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
