the thread will not degenerate! I have used Logitech peripherals for a long time, and some of them are quite appealing (The latest MX revolution mouse is quite a good product). I second what you say about the new plexiglass bluetooth keyboard. Some of my comments were (willingly) cast with the aim of provoking some reaction (and they did!).
It may well be that the Transporter has a future among some of the more sophisticated products that Logitech has been developing of late (MX revolution mouse, super keyboard etc) most of which are priced accordingly. I just have the feeling that a complete rebrand would not be in line with the image of Slimdevices (at least as far as I perceive it - there maybe margins for debate here!). Somehow I resisted buying any of the other offerings (Roku, Sonos etc) because a) the company is run by maniacal audiophiles with an understanding and love of high end kit; b) a large portion of the community consists of very helpful and equally maniacal users, many of which possess a strong inclination towards understanding and modifying the products (both hardware and software); c) the products (initially SB3 and now a Transporter as far as I am concerned) are actually quite spectacular. I dread an excess of product "homogenisation", which may (but then again might not!) strip this remarkable community of its quirkyness and originality, by sinking Slimdevices into the vast sea of Logitech products. As I said above, Fiat may own Ferrari, but Ferrari-engined Fiats (they have existed) were never very successful...
