To me the new Slim products means moving more to the professional home integrator market targeting Sonos, not expanding into people who just want to get started in streaming music. My feeling is wifi streaming devices could be a mainstream with the right product. I would like it to be some open/semi-open as opposed to some new flavor of the Apple hegemony. It's clear there's just a quantum difference in manufacturing discounts in mainstream products opposite niche products. Take a gander at http://www.amazon.com/Philips-AJL308-Clock-Radio-Display/dp/B000U6LEGS With all the talk on whether the display of the Squeezebox adds to its cost, look at what Philips can offer for $130 list with better codec support than some of these wifi alarm clocks at 3 times the price. In a perfect world I could get this for little more with a wifi chipset and support for some streaming protocol. -- sander ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40983 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
