Back to the OP's concerns. It strikes me that the extremely flexible nature of the Slim Devices architecture is its own worst enemy for mass market acceptance. The server software will get installed on a wide variety of PCs and in a wide variety of wireless networks over which Logitech has no control whatsoever. Given what a mess a lot of people's PCs are in (especially Windows ones), it's a miracle that it works as well as it does. If the Duet is to become a widespread success, I think the next thing Logitech need to do is work on an appliance server device. Perhaps a low power diskless Linux box with a CD drive for ripping (with a bundled AMG subscription to help with tagging), USB ports for external disks (so the user can add whatever disk space they need), an ethernet port, and an optional wireless access point built in. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47302 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
