Once again I totally agree with you. The choice could be to choose between the NAS concept or the Apple TV concept... for sure the second seems more fashion. In the end, a great amount of work seems invested in online services (slimnetwork, mp3tune, etc). I think the three different ways could happily work together and thas would make Slimdevices products killer ones. SB+Dedicated PC for the geek SB+AppleTV like for the consumer market profiting from geek community SB+Online services for the one who wants to use SB as an evolved internet radio Robin PS: must I say that I also agree with what you're saying about mp3tunes ? ;) -- vrobin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vrobin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11705 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37279 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
