thats a good point, but i already said it should remain aound the $300 pricepoint, a price point SD has stuck to for years, regardless of chips getting cheaper. (and i understand that, and don't have a problem with it) look at this from SDs perspective... they probably are gonna hold the line at that price, or maybe $50 cheaper, in the next few years. if they could market a fat device, that would serve you in legacy mode, as well as reach a whole new market segment, in fat mode, and do it at the same price, why not do it? yes, they will be asking you to buy hardware you wouldn't use, but you'd be in the minority of their potential overall market, as erland pointed out. and moreover, if they did it at around ~$300, thats what you'd be paying anyway whether or not this stuff was packed in it. snarlydwarf;218540 Wrote: > Right, or about the size of a laptop... clever, but the laptop would not include the SB. i am talking about one device only, all in one, and of a different form factor and type. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.5.4 (beta!?) - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37279 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
