I think wireless-n support would be good, but for me, the reason I keep coming back to the Slim website every few weeks, is becuase I keep hoping for a version with a dramatically upgraded display technology. The scrolling flourescent green/blue seems so '80s or '90s....
What it needs is a 7 to 10 inch TFT color VGA (or even better resoultion?) screen that will display the album art and metadata. Also a video out port would be great so you could show the same image on a monitor or a TV. I have no idea how much SLIM has to pay for the vacuum flourscent display, seeing as how hardly any other mordern product in the world uses it (aside from the Transporter!), I bet it is not cheap. I know the color TFTs have come down ALOT in cost. Perhaps this upgrade could be made with little extra cost for SLIM, yet the added functionality of making it a digitial picture frame as well supplies an excellent value proposition for the market place. Just think of the wow factor at your party when the tunes are streaming over to your stereo and you have big, bright album art and text showing on the TFT screen. Or then you hit another button to put the SB4 in slideshow mode so your wife can show off all the photos from your last vacation (all the while the music keeps streaming...)Or better yet, show it all on the 52" LCD flat screeen TV next to the SB4. This is what I think they should be doing next SB4 -- Zten ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zten's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1810 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41476 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
