I disagree with the statement that Logitech will ruin Slimdevices. In fact the evidence seems to indicate just the opposite.
I was an early adopter of the Harmony product (before their acquisition by Logitech). I thought it was the best universal remote on the market and the software capability (state memory, web programming, Mac compatibility) were a perfect fit for me and my equipment (despite being a small unknown Canadian company). The first new Harmony product after the Logitech acquisition was the 880 which I upgraded to and I like even more. It retained compatibility with my existing equipment and had better ergonomics, a color LCD and rechargeable batteries. The new 1000 looks even more interesting. I don't know if any of this was Logitech's design influence or if it was their ability to stay out of the way of a good engineering team but I don't care. All I know is I have a quality product that does the job. I have never had a problem with the Harmony software and don't consider it to be inferior in any way. I am also an early adopter of Slimdevices products (hand built Squeezebox, SB2, 2xSB3) and I am *very* satisfied with the product and the software. Given my experience with what happened after Logitech acquired Harmony I am enthusiastic about the future of Slimdevices. Normally I wouldn't bother replying as everyone is entitled to their opinion but I just felt that the overall tone of the message board since the news of the acquisition has been negative. I wish Slimdevices (and Logitech) much success in their new relationship. -- jbuccino ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jbuccino's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1096 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29081 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
