I didn't realise that Logitech were planning to discontinue the Squeezebox range entirely but yes, I had noticed Logitech posters disappearing. In my naivety I had assumed that they had no time to post as they were so busy developing the next Squeezebox!
Kind of makes it even more laughable though doesn't it? Let's kill Squeezebox. Lay the staff off / move to different division. Done. Hang on, shall we release a simpler Radio under the UE banner? Yes, let's do that. But most of our staff are now gone how are we to resource this? Don't worry, we'll use the existing LMS software and strip out some features to make it much simpler. What about integration with existing Squeezeboxes? No point - we want new customers. But aren't they are potential buyers of UE stuff? They'll come round and ditch their Squeezeboxes. So we are releasing a Touch UE as well then? Er, no. Are we to provide a local music server? What? No, that's old hat. Internet only is the way forward. What about people with no internet or locations that make it very unreliable? Er, well there can't be that many of them - move on. Third party apps? No, too much hassle to let someone else write a decent add on for us. So, it's just to be a standalone internet radio for the same price as the old Squeezebox Radio? Yes. OK we're on it - sounds like a winner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HeadBanger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38024 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97331 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
