I'd like to see a device similar to Touch ( 96/24 playback ) but with a display of SB3/Transporter! + Boom II with color touchscreen. The analog part of Touch is quite good enough for most of consumers and you can always add a DAC of your taste. This is most flexible solution. Why spend money

I'd settle for any new version of the Boom, whatever the screen. I'd have bought another, already, but I'm afraid of not being able to use it (or my other three SB devices) at all if Logitech dumps the line altogether and abandons the msb.com service. Not all of us use local servers... --

I'd really love to see a new Transporter. None of the current squeezebox family members have displays that are readable from more than a few feet away, so one has to resort to controlling them using either the Controller or a smartphone/Ipad type device. I'd buy any new squeezebox with a display

I reckon that they're only interested in getting customers to buy the Revue at the moment having spent much time cash on its RD. Once LMS 7.7 is officially released I would think there will be some sort of relaunch that highlights all of the added functionality (for the Revue) that LMS brings.

I simply wait for: - A new version of the Radio with a touch screen like Touch. - A new version of the Boom with a touch screen like Touch is nice to have. Will not buy another Radio of the current series. I have one Duet, but I'm fine to use Touch for such 'hidden' appliances. Still nice

I reckon something is on the cards. I've received a 40% off offer on one item from the Logitech store, apparently I've been specially selected, however I've received it to two different email accounts so cant be that special :( -- cparker www.spicefly.com - Spicefly SugarCube - Taking

An updated Duet would be the most likely but with people using Android and iPhone apps I can't see them developing the existing controller much. Perhaps they'll just update the screen to OLED with full 24 bit colour? An updated Receiver with better processing power and 24/96 capabilities would
