Hi Erland, Dean etc. I was not strictly arguing for a port of Squeezeplay. I am a proud and committed supporter of the whole Squeezebox approach. I am just concerned about ensuring that the future of Slim is not compromised as this type of music technology becomes mainstream.
The Squeezecenter software is by far the best and most flexible management environment of all the current players. But we now see Linn DS capable of connection to Squeezecenter (developed by one of their own staff). The Sonos support of iPhone / iTouch now provides them a significantly lower entry price for new users. iPhone now 10 million users, iTouch we will never know. Now as Dean has said we can look forward to the native iPeng, probably iSqueeze as well. But this is down to the commitment of third parties who today are supporting the Squeeze environment, but it is not necessarily in the control of the Slim team. If people start streaming to these devices - they have digital outputs, then even the SB can be bypassed. I don't wish to cause offence, I just wish the best routes for success of our beloved Slim Devices product family. I expect I will get and pay for a native iPeng application. But I wouldn't like this type of option to undermine the profitability and future of Slim. Just a few provocative thoughts.
