My brother asked me what network music player he should get. I recommended a SB3. He bought a Pinnacle Home Soundbrideg Roku thingy (the pillock never listens to me). He was pretty underwhelmed it seems.. then he used my SB3 over Christmas... looks like he's going to replace it with an SB3 (or possibly two). I used the Pinnacle Home for about 2 mins.. got pretty close to nowhere. I can give my friends the SB3 remote (or better still the Jive remote) and they "get it" in seconds (Caveat: I have hacked the menus around a lot though) I don't think the Pinnacle Home and SB3 are competing products. It's like comparing a Morris Minor and a Audi S3 (The Transporter being the Audi R8). However, I'm sure there are a lot of long term SB3/Transporter users on this forum who are very interested to see what Logitech bring out next.... which way are they going to go? If the Jive remote (which I love) is anything to go by it could be quite exciting.
