Fair enough - I can appreciate that Logitech aren't going to bring out
a new model based on old technology.

Most of the posts in this thread discussing how the Transporter might

The TP's motherboard could be repackaged in a much simpler case without
the displays, knob or buttons. In that configuration it would be a sort

There is no future for the existing SB3/transporter platform. the

forward something new is needed, that

Correct. And only hardware released recently has their own forums.
The lack of a dedicated Transporter-forum is omen of nothing but a
vacuum for users to spread a rumor in.

Many who post to Audiophile do not have a TP, and most of the topics

Well it was more of a joke, and the other poster also cleared up why

Why don't you just ask your question in the Audiophile Forum.
If there are other Transporter users then they are there ...
I'd call it a bad omen, if a Transporter forum was closed.
But since such a forum never existed at all (and didn't exist for any
device before the Boom) I definitely see

That's kinda my point. The Boom and TP are both being sold new as part
of the current line.

But there were *never* forums specific to the SliMP3/SB(G)/SB2/SB3 when
they were still being sold as part of the current line either. So
It is difficult with the adding of a forum for every new product, to
justify the current state, based on this wasn't the way it used to be.
That's no longer relevant especially to the Forum newcomers.

inevitable that Logitech will drop the TP.
You're kidding, right? Yes, sooner or later
If a new transporter was realeased (lets not argue about whether there
will or not) I would actually expect it to be based round the Touch, so
really it should share a forum with that device. It would be the same
hardware platform but with a different DAC and power supply. Just like

Why would a Touch screen be worse than 2 VFD displays, I can understand

Very good point Funkstar; perhaps it would be based around the Touch.
That would be unfortunate. The Touch is good for what it is. The
Transporter is (was) a product geared toward the high-end user AND was
developed by the SlimDevices users in conjunction with SD.

Well keep in mind I think following the Touch line of products does not

Anyone else notice there are devoted forums for all of the Logitech
Squeezebox line - except - the Transporter? It is still in the lineup,
for now.

Mainly because they only started creating dedicated forums for players as they
were released AFTER the Transporter had already been out
