Points us to http://ir.logitech.com/events.cfm?eventid=104245 and, on the right of that page, a link to Aisha's slides http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/LOGI/1502914136x0x516373/814afe4c-d891-4bb4-99a8-7abf2790a900/AA_-_AID_2011_110911_FINAL_.pdf where she talks about Music and TV. Well worth looking at, and shows a commitment to SQ and to music streaming. Her focus, rightly in my view, is on music streaming - from the internet, for now, with SQ Radio - though I think she'll need to move up to a SQ radio device that can dock an iPhone or Android phone. (Tech detail: docking not strictly necessary since device could stream over WiFi or BT, but there will be battery issues for the main user, and a dock could provide power and recharge.) But this focus on music streaming is correct because it is the high-volume future, and where Logitech is likely to do well. She does show a laptop also streaming to the SQ radio, but she doesn't mention the more substantial stereo use cases. But the Touch is a good product, so - hopefully - she'll activate or re-activate its marketing. One possibility she might think about is upgrading the radio product to also double as the higher-end audio source, a sort of combined radio/touch/Android dock. The commercial reason for this is that Logitech is aware that people 'trade-up' and the CEO said he needs the company to have products that people can move on to; this could be a good fit, I think. Her slides look positive, and that Andy feels confident enough to voice the thoughts that he has, does suggest that Logitech is aware of the potential of SQ kit in music streaming.

Re: [slim] Logitech drops Revue, says early Google TV intro a 'mistake'
I often see posts stating that the SB is not for the 'non-tech' crowd and/or you can't sell and instal them for non-tech consumers. Well, I do install them for non-tech customers and they have virtually no problems and love the devices. It's true they get a professional installation with a dedicated server, but the idea that it cannot be done is simply false. It works flawlessly for most of our customers and problems are far and few between (with the notable, recent exception of the 7.6 debacle - yeah that hurt and cost us). Nor is it all that complicated for our installers if a few rules are adhered to: a very solid whole home wi-fi network, hard wired server, hard-wired SBs, a dedicated server (with musicip), pre-planning for mysqueezebox.com and streaming apps, and, at the end, a leisurely walk-thru/tutorial with the customer. Done this way, Sonos, which we also install, does not compare in terms of reliability, quality or features. We'll install it for customers who demand it, but steer the rest away. It's certainly true that we sell to an upscale niche market who have the money to spend for the setup, server and the service we provide, but done right you can't beat it for a full featured digital audio solution.

Re: [slim] Logitech drops Revue, says early Google TV intro a 'mistake'
I have to say that LMS or Squeezebox Server in its database roll leaves a lot to be be desired. That is where Logitech can make huge improvements in the Squeezebox brand. It's an audio delivery system and diverting resources to making it a multimedia server has made it a jack of all trades and a master of none. I like the squeezebox concept but I just don't like the database management and I have no intention of using the interface with iTunes. Hi end audio, you have to be joking. At present I manage the MonkeySqueeze script which interfaces MediaMonkey with the Squeezebox system. It's not perfect but it's getting close, especially now we can sync playlists between the systems on the latest Alpha release. Why am I pushing the MonkeySqueeze/MediaMonkey angle? It's not for money as MonkeySqueeze is freeware and you can use the freeware version of MediaMonkey with it. It's one way of linking a very good music management tool with a good music delivery system. MediaMonkey is not perfect either. It doesn't have the useful plugins that are provided with LMS so it's not a direct swap. Both programs have their uses. Just a pity that it's proving difficult to find an all in one solution for audio delivery. Squeezebox will continue to live on the edge of usefulness until Logitech give it the resources it requires to improve the interface between the user and hardware. Maybe they can form a relationship with MediaMonkey, but whatever they do, now is the time to do something positive for the system.

Re: [slim] Logitech drops Revue, says early Google TV intro a 'mistake'
As a 'everyday' user I haven't really found LMS to be that drastically bad (compared with 7.6 which was awful). I suspect that there are two levels of users, those who basically just want a reliable internet radio/services device with added media functions, and those who want it to be a high-end media streaming device. Overall, I think the current SB implentation manages to serve both constituencies quite well - there are lots of options for those who want to extend functionality.
