I wish I could buy a Squeezebox Boombox. It would have the functionality of a SB3, it's familiar UI, but with built-in speakers. I would want to join any available WiFi network I'd happen to be around (including an open, free one automatically). I would also want to program in my home SlimServer as an option, using a FQDN (fully qualified domain name, like "myServer.myISP.net.").
My mental vision conjures up a SB3, extended horizontally with enough room for one of those very nice little Harmon Kardon silver dome drivers on each side (the ones like in Macs, or the SoundSticks). Perhaps there's be a third, larger one in back for some bass reinforcement. The remote could be credit card sized, with support for the standard one should I point one at it. The loudness of the speakers would be tied to the volume control on the remote. There could be a carrying pouch, for easy storage and transport, making this a portable SB that could leave the house with me. I suppose it could be battery powered, but there's lots of AC around. I would expect to pay a small premium over the original SB, say +$100. (Sorry if this has been posted before; I searched for something similar and found nothing.) -- forddonald ------------------------------------------------------------------------ forddonald's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11991 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36603 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
