And officially there was just the the UE Smart Radio announcement: http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Squeezebox-Players/Logitech-UE-Smart-Radio/td-p/884530 And a bit later they also officially posted the open letter to Squeezebox fans: http://blog.logitech.com/2012/09/28/an-open-letter-to-squeezebox-fans However, if they have removed the UE Smart Radio devices from the stores it's pretty official in my mind, I can remember any time they have done that in the past where it hasn't meant that they were about to stop selling the product officially. Just face it, these kind of decisions is not something Logitech are good at communicating with there customers, they probably want to be sure someone still buys the UE Smart Radio devices they have left in the stores. In theory it could also mean that they are about to announce a UE Smart Radio 2, but personally I doubt that's the case. It will be interesting to see how they will handle uesmartradio.com. Since they still have devices under warranty, I would suspect that they need to keep something running, but theoretically they can just downgrade all UE Smart Radio users to Squeezebox Radio and make them use mysqueezebox.com instead and avoid the need to run two set of central servers. Of course, doing that would be kind of admitting that the whole UE Smart Radio product was a mistake and I wonder if the management really is prepared to do that.
