Certainly congratulations are in order for the SlimDevices crew.
It makes me nervous primarily because of the issue of product focus. Slim was always very focused. Logitech is much larger with a much more diverse product line, and I fear that the product focus may be lost.
Of course, with more resources, marketing, etc., this could be a huge boon, too. Combining that DJ PC remote with SlimDevices would be very cool. I also have trouble picturing Sean selling the company to someone who was going to screw it up (I base that on my long participation and lurking here, as well as his). And I have to say that the Logitech products I have (Harmony remote, wireless game controls, and a bluetooth headset) have all been of good quality. (And I have to say I'd love to see a Mac version of that "advanced" keyboard they have in the pipeline.)
In any case, the hardware will remain what it is, and the server is open-source, which is a major reason I originally went with the SLIMP3 to begin with.
The forums are going to be swamped, though. I fear it will harken back to the days AOL loosed its clientele on the internet, albiet on a smaller scale. :-)
