I think the Apple and Slim customers are very different:

Apple - like convenience, not hackers, not interested in the utmost
quality

Slim - willing to spend a bit of effort to get the product how they
like it; recognise that it is better quality but a bit more effort.

The Apple may actually help Slim: when people realise that the Apple
isn't that good sounding, they might look around for a similar product.
Most people I know haven't even considered a network music solution.

Anyway Slim needs to move into video - you just know that Apple won't
support things you record from your HDTV PC card, so it's deeply
pointless.  Slim could do this much better, including offering support
for codecs not even invented yet, as the work is done by the server. 
It's clearly a better system - and a matter of time.  (But I won't buy
one - the joy of one-bedroom flats in London!)
