The SB2 looks awful. Absolutly awful! It has the looks of a extremly cheap clockradio :-( And with the SB3 it's totally opposite. In black very good - in black/sliver best looking player on the market! And it bothers me that they just needs to ad some colours and then could charge 5 - 10 $ extra, that would be pure profit + gain a lot more customers. IMHO it's very strange. Your analogy to the car market is quite good. European cars makers were very slow to install cupholders in the cars due to fact that no one in Europe used to drink and drive. But Americans wanted cupholders so the got them at last. -- sd2100 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sd2100's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14013 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40309 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
