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.

It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist
in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
