Nevertheless, I prefer the internal antenna to an external - looks 10X cleaner. That said, it would be nice if they included a port in the back to add your own antenna for those who need marginal reception improvements. At least those users could tuck the antenna away from the actual Squeezebox

I'd like to see: A $199 SB3 equivalent using Logitech's component cost and manufacturing advantages. A $399 or $499 SB4 with the TP's DAC, better analog section, and linear power supply. It could be the same form factor as the SB3 to keep the price down. If they could get 90% of the TP's sound
