Thank you erland for very clear reply. I doubt there are any substantial changes in the hardware. I would definitely try it if I was in States where this UE Radio was originally bought, but I'm in Europe and it will be a pain to send it back. I guess I threw away 179$..... oh well, I'll be very careful whenever an item says "Logitech" on it and avoid if possible, let it be a mouse/webcam/anything... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ frussqueeze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58240 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97331 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
