Most people dont like the idea of a small independant company with a good track record being taken over by a large multi-national; always fearing (often rightly) that product quality, support takes a nose dive. This may happen even now - we can hope not and that certainly over the next year or so hope that the support / intervention in the design process is not too severe.
In the long run it would be good to have devices which can be modified using a relatively open hardware platform - and that Slim-Logitech-Devices allow this to occur. One possability would be to use modular designs - if they downgrade the DAQ chip / circuit then use a standard layout so that others can easily interchange the circuit - e.g. something like a small mini-pci type / memory connector to bridge to a new board. Similarly I would hope SLD were open to listing basic product specifications. Often it is the user community which can find, spot and possibly fix a bug / fault before a large corporate group can. Perhaps there could be a mass market for a SB-Lite; SB-Pro; Transporter. In the meantime I hope that the SB / Transporter range continues unchanged and reliable. -- roamingstudio ------------------------------------------------------------------------ roamingstudio's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6923 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
