What ought to come out of this is that Logitech will sell shedloads of Squeezeboxes, which is a good thing, because it means that the best affordable network player around gets to survive. But the only way the Transporter (or evolution thereof) will stick around is if it retains its Slim Devices branding, or perhaps better still (from a marketing perspective) Logitech cuts an OEM deal with one of the "names" in high-end audio. If Logitech try to sell Transporters with their own badge, they simply won't shift and we'll see this superb cutting edge device get axed. -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
