Hi all, I have owned a Squeezebox 2 for a couple of years, and on the spur of the moment, just bought a Squeezebox Duet. One advantage with the Logitech buyout, is that you can actually buy Slimdevices products in Australia!
The good: The controller is very responsive, has reasonable wireless range, and the battery life is good considering it appears to be ready to go at a moments notice. So a big tick for the OS. The bad: The hardware. The screen. The scroll-wheel. The screen is embarassing compared to my 2 year old phone, it is terrible compared to my iPhone. Outside in direct sunlight it is unreadable. The scoll-wheel ..... again the same as the screen. This would be acceptable for 2002, maybe 2005, but it is 2008! A physical scroll wheel? If you are going to rip something off, at least do it properly. Scratches: I had a quick read when I received the Duet last week and peps are complaining about it scratching easily. I havent added any to the front of my controller yet, but out of the box, even under the Apple styled plastic wrap there were scratches and or skuffs on the back of the controller and the front of the player. Summary. Software is almost there. Hardware, Logitech, please go talk to whomever builds Apple's gear.
