The way I see it, Slim has a great product line ready for mass market
adoption.

By not taking advantage of that product being one of the best out there
and becoming the iPod of network music players, it just becomes a matter
of time before Apple or some Chinese/Taiwanese producer brings out a
clone that cleans up in the market place.

1) Logitech gives Slim the marketings and distribution to get there
product into thousands of stores world-wide and gives them a chance of
mass-market adoption.
2) They also give them the financial muscle to perhaps try some riskier
products that perhaps there wasn't the cashflow to attempt.
3) Perhaps Slim will also gain access to some DRM licenses that weren't
financially viable for Slim at their current size. That could enable
more functionality in the existing product line.

Now, will the Slim be able to stay as responsive to the community when
they have 10x the customer base?

Only time will tell. I hope so.

Best of luck guys, enjoy the Porsche(s) and keep up the good work.
