2. The Transporter is my second area of concern. I can see how the SB3
might fit into a Logitech product line-up as they are obviously moving
into that area, but not the Transporter - it just not feel like a match
for a company founded on mice and keyboards. And, as others have
pointed out, the high end audio world is unlikely to embrace a Logitech
device as being a credible serious device, however good it is. And I
believe from my own experience it is a VERY good high end audio source.
I cannot honestly see the Transporter surviving for long under the new
owners (so get one while you can).
Two thoughts on this:
Slim may continue to co-brand or solely brand a portion of their lines.
Or they might decide to define a new brand for their high-end
offerings. So the Transporter might be the "Logitech Transporter", it
might something else entirely. After all, the Harmony remotes are still
branded under that name.
The R&D costs of the Transporter are sunk. And that product is an asset
that Logitech has just paid for. It doesn't make sense to me that a
decision would be made to kill a product just as it is beginning to make
money. It also provides an entry point into AV specific sales channels
that may be desirable in Logitech's planning.
