I don't think you'll have to worry about buying a Logitech transporter because in my opinion they simply won't sell one. Not because they are an evil large corporation that hates excellent audio, but because there is not a large enough market for a company the size of Logitech to pursue. All of the other changes that Logitech will bring to the table will be born of the needs of their company. Their choices will be very limited as product cycles and markets will dictate product. This is not to say that Logitech is WalMart but they will make decisions based on similer criteria - they have to because their business model will demand it! And that criteria will probably have very little to do with fine audio reproduction and very little to do with what made the SqueezeBox excellent and the Transporter great. It has nothing to do with Logitech's business ethics and everything to do with the reality of a large business. Large buinesses simply do not pursue small markets and the transporter represent a VERY small market. That is why I would not expect it to survive for very long. -- LHawes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LHawes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6244 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
