Corporate America is focused on maximizing profits. Build your product
as cheaply as possible. Sell as much as possible. Ignore your customers
as much as the laws allow you to. SlimDevices approach was so different,

anyway, your concerns are potentially valid, but there's no guarantee of any outcome; not only do different companies behave differently, but different divisions behave differently, and any unit changes over time.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens. Personally, I'm still planning to buy another squeezebox for Christmas.
