Junien, Welcome to our world! Congratulations on selecting a great acquisition target. You have acquired a great team with strong design and development skills. I am sure that your marketing and distribution skills will assist in extending the addressable market of the Squeezebox. Unlike some of the people here I think that Logitech is a good match. Sure the Logitech will move into new terrain in some senses but in others it has long been associated with quality premium products. My MX700 was reasonably expensive for a mouse when I bought it (just after launch) and was by far the most expensive mouse I had ever bought. Why did I buy it? Because it was the best and a quality product, with excellent build standards. Very similar to the reasons why I bought my SB3. Sean et al, A good move and I hope you grasp this opportunity to acheive greatness. I personally had worried that the old smaller Slim Devices would struggle to grow in the face of increasing competition from Apple etc and would end up limited to a niche market. I now think that there is every reason why the squeezebox can become the leading brand in digital home audio. On a personal note, I like most other people here am very attached to the Squeezebox and may find future brand changes difficult, however if it brings a healthy future to SlimDevices, it's people and products then I for one am very pleased.
