Peter, I agree with Erland about the problems of cannabalizing sales of the current device by releasing a new one and that SlimDevices has already made a commitment to the current device. However, history and companies such as Apple have shown that building the right device the first time out obliterates the competition and wins a loyal customer following. It is a dilemma for SlimDevices and the users that need a larger screen.
The form factor of Sonos and iPhone with their larger screen makes it obvious that a little bigger is better. I actually like to look at the album cover graphics because I tend to recall the albums more by there artwork than their name. Also, anything that mimics flipping through a CD collection, whether crystal cases or in a CD book, replicates a familiar user experience. Again, the new iPods do this. To me this beats reading text anyday. Peter, I'm showing my age (54) but do you need reading glasses? I hate it but I do. I tend to pop my glasses up or look over the top of them so I can see small text or detail clearly. This means holding the object really close (~6") to my face and flipping them back on for distance. My progressive lenses (distance on top, reading below) are not real clear for close-up and tend to tire my eyes because of the angle at which I have look through them for close-up vision. It is a universal problem among people that need correction for distance and reading.
