Did you factor in the $79 to $99 per month, two year contract with AT&T into your assessment of the cost for the Squeezebox Controller vs. iPhone? That's an additional $1920 in revenue for the iPhone. If' you'll sign a contract like that with us, we could GIVE you the Squeezebox Controller and a few rooms worth of Squeezebox Receivers. In general, most CE companies set the MSRP based on their cost to manufacture the product. The cell phone companies work differently because the hardware cost is subsidized by the subscription revenue. I realize your perception is that we're overpriced, but that would be function of the SB Controller being over-featured relative to what you want. SB3 is still available and works a treat. If you don't feel that Duet is worth it, you can still use the SB3 with the infrared remote or with a Nokia 770/800, iPhone, etc. Duet is an extension to the product family, providing in-hand control of all the SB/TP products in your home. If you're not doing multi-room audio, or don't want in-hand control, Duet won't be a good choice for you. -=> Jim -- JimC "well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that." -- BKlaas' college buddy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41805 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
