i couldn't agree more, and actually, i wish it would become a priority. i for one am not paranoid over this buyout... i've always liked logitech products and found them to be very reliable as well as very user friendly. i actually am hoping that logitech can offer what it does best, making user friendly products, with what slim does best, making versatile, functional open source products. some things that would be great logitech... 1. putting a color screen on the remote, that lets you see artwork. (linksys has something like that i think) 2. allowing the device to work as it does now, AND as a remote soundcard, like some competitors products. (i'd like to stream DVD movie audio over it, or defeat drm strategies, etc...) 3. developing "plugins" for winamp and similar pgms that will power the SB without needing SS. anyway, i hope the new deal bears fruit, and i think it could be a great partnership. well done, -mdw -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.5.0 - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
