I have no insight into the Slim/Logi folks thinking, but I am sure that the time to design, implement and test the software for new features was a major concern. if you look at the number of folks doing beta tests (just browse the forum) and the number of quick releases of the software, it was a huge effort to get it out. Getting consumer software through QA to buyers is a really big deal. If I was in charge, I'd have turned off some really cool features as well. There is tons of potential here. As 'light said about the obvious hardware potential, plus LUA/OS is designed for extensions and plugins. Here is a secret: the Controller is a personal computer with WiFi. Sure, its not the world's fastest CPU, but its plenty fast. And you can stick a 2GB sd card in it. I wrote Windows programms professionally on a computer with 5MB of RAM and a 200 MB disk. The Controller is tons more computer than the one I used in the olden days. It starts with 128MB of memory. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ jive mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/jive
