This is a bit off topic first. Not completely separate - Porsche own 25% of VW (i.e. blocking rights) and F. Piech chairman of VW supervisory board owns about 12% of Porche and was CEO of VW up to 2002.
Following the analogy in relation to SD. The VW Phaeton was a commercial failure - people didn't want to pay over $100k for a VW but the Bentley (also owned by VW) with the same mechanicals can't keep up with sales. The badge and pedigree seems to be important to show other people. If the same logic applies - Logitech should be able to sell - cheaper Squeezeboxes in new cases badged Logitech (Powered by Slimdevices) possibly with cheaper components (e.g. cheaper PS, DAC) - move the Slimdevices brand upmarket with dearer SB2plus using technology from transporter. Isn't this what Logitech is already doing with their $10 and $100 keyboards ? -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
