IMO, the whole idea of an on-device server and storage is a huge step backwards. There are plenty of other companies doing these fat clients. Feel free to choose one then live with the closed server, limited drive space, noise, and expense. I do think one viable solution in this direction would be a more sophisticated router, which could be configured to run the server and have memory card or USB slots for storage devices.
Imagining a powerful computer with a Linux OS, preinstalled Slimserver, a terabyte or two of storage, and a wireless access point built into it? Sounds good. I'd still like to see a boombox form-factor Squeezebox though -- not with a built-in server or media reading, just with speakers and an FM/AM radio :) -- "I spent all me tin with the ladies drinking gin, So across the Western ocean I must wander" -- traditional _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
