I don't think Logitech will be so stubborn. I'm not saying anyone should go out and buy that box as a replacement for the SqueezeBox. What I am saying is that SD/Logitech should be aware of what other players are doing in the market. You will *never* be able to market a consumer *entertainment* device (and make no mistake, that's what the SB is) to the masses by proclaiming it's *open-source* and *cross-platform*. Consumers want features. Eventually, you have to give the consumer what they want. And maybe more importantly, what they *expect*. I think it should be clear that many of the features of this new Helios player, which are absent on the SB3/Transporter, will increasingly be expected. One of them, and the most important to me for now, is the feature of pluggable media.
ezkcdude, I think you are right and I bet you will be proven right when SD/Logitech releases the next-gen device. What's funny is that a lot of the people insinuating you are 'rude' and ignorant to the SD ethos will change their tune and embrace the wonderful forward-looking SD vision. I think it's time to drop the thread, focus your energies on more constructive discussions. :) Ben
