Before abandoning this thread entirely I will post a small coment to some of my own predictions. Muele;434230 Wrote: Come on all you guys speculating in built-in-server capabilities, dock+remote etc. This is clearly just a Jazzed-up classic. It has some nice additions to what the classic can do. But it will not do all the things you dream of. Browsing usb-music will be by folder-structure as no scan is being done and most likely you will not be able to share it with other Squeezeboxen across the network. If the product proves me wrong: great. But I hardly think so. My guess is that the classic will stop being produced pretty soon as it doesn't seem to have any advantages over the SBT (Squeezebox Touch) except if you prefer the vfd and design of the classic. And perhaps pricing, but who knows how the prices will compare a couple og months after the release. But speculations like what we see in this thread is excatly why companies like Logitech go through big ordeals to keep products secret until properly announced. 1. people will want to return stuff/hold their buy untill they can get hold of the new shiny stuff. 2. Rumors about what the product can actually do start cirkulating faster than a frog in a blender. All that being said, I too love to get a sneak preview of stuff that is about to come. I actually guessed that something was about to come with the rebranding of the website and new nomenclature of the software suite. For me a good wall-mount and wipe-off-smudgy-fingerprints-and-ability-to-contiune-looking-good-in-a-kitchen-environment ability is very important for me if I were to buy it any day soon. BR Mogens After all I was wrong for the most part, but I also was right in some little parts, as the Classic is being discontinued. And the fact that I was proven wrong in other aspects just makes me glad. Especially that it will be able to run TinySC excites me very much. By the time we finish building a new living room on the second floor, the Touch and SBS 8.0 will be ready and then i will most definately get one for it. And even the missus will support the purchase for being able to remove the musicserver and serve as a basic NAS as well. I don't need the WebUI and never transcode anyway.

Of course, the audio circuitry is more extensive than a laptop, but they have this developed anyway. As for product runs, how much difference are they to the average laptop anyway.

Re: [slim] New Logitech MM STREAM Squeezebox Touch spotted !!
I use another solution for the controller. I have a Philips Pronto 9400 touch screen remote control with an application to control the Squeezebox. It is not a very cheap solution but the application is embedded in a remotecontrol-only solution, which I think is ideal. Controlling my home equipment and controlling a Squeezebox. It communicates directly by WiFi. The only disadvantage is that the Pronto's Screen is blanks after 30 sec. And I like the idea of a LCD screen in the SB Touch which is always on. You can look at each moment to see what's playing without waking up a remote control. And that is something I can't with my Pronto. And probably also not with an iPhone/Pod. But I think there would be a market for touch screen remote solution if it responds fast. Just take the touch screen from the SB Touch, put it in a flat and small case and there is a touch screen controller... But on the other hand the tablet pc are coming.

Re: [slim] New Logitech MM STREAM Squeezebox Touch spotted !!
This probably will look nice sitting on a table or counter somewhere, but it will only be as good as the back end and infrastructure supporting it. Hopefully for as much as what is going into the user interface of these devices, one would hope the same goes into the other pieces. I believe the new device will have the ability to attract some new customers, but the bigger bang for the buck for me would be to introduce something that would allow users to more easily setup and configure their system. On top of that, it would go along way if a device could be provided that would allow the customer to implement the system without having to source their own server for Squeeze Center. Some little device that runs Squeeze Center and allows you to expand storage when needed. In other words more turn key. What about a server with it's own Wifi router and software to allow easy configuring of squeeze devices with it. Again, aimed at the less technical customer providing more of a turn key solution. For others, they might go the build it themselves approach. Why not offer options like mains / power network adapters branded as Logitec bundeled as part of the package. Beter yet, could also have these part of the product just plug in and away you go.

How about different international power standards? need for isolation of data signal from mains? While powerline Ethernet works great when it works, it doesn't work in many cases, sometimes even in the same house. In the US, most houses are wired as two separate 120v systems off of a common 240v pair. Sometimes signals can flow easily, sometimes not.

Then I bought the Duet and liked using the Controller so much that we were back to two remotes. Like using iPeng since the iPhone is also always close by. So the 1000/SBC would be my perfect solution in the A/V remote/gadget area (bigger display then Controller or iPeng also).

I don't know about the practicality of playing music from a memory card, or about the rumored ability of this product to be a slimmed-down squeezecenter server... don't know if these are parts of the actual feature set, or just hopes/wishes/guesses of those on the forums anxiously waiting to see what this thing really is! Remove the touch screen (something people will rarely use anyway), put a bigger LCD instead, keep the other Squeezebox extras like native 24bit/96kHz support (although I suspect I couldn't hear the difference) and voilà! you have the SB4. -- Nostromo http://www.last.fm/user/Guermantez/ Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64706 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Exactly And it has an ir-remote to so if one forgets about the touch panel you could have your SB4 ;) Using an ir-remote coupled with visual feedback from the color display could be nice provided one is near enough to see it. Hopefully it has display modes with really large text. As this is a powered device it would not suffer the controllers irritating sleep modes, waiting 30 seconds to press pause IS an design error just short of making the product not fit for purpose.

Re: [slim] New Logitech MM STREAM Squeezebox Touch spotted !!
As I suggested in my blog - IFA in Berlin is next week (4-9 September). I'd be very suprised if it is not announced there - and it would be a better announcement if they said it was shipping. The fact that an order has shipped shows that the device is in warehouses. Revo are sure to be hyping their new touchscreen radio at the same event (press release earlier this week) - Logitech could try to trump it by saying that theirs is shipping (albeit with smaller screen and without the regular radio and iPod dock of the more expensive Revo model). http://dabdig.blogspot.com/2009/08/revo-ikon-more-promise-than-your.html -- Paul Webster Paul Webster http://www.lastfm.com/user/BondJamesBond Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64706 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] New Logitech MM STREAM Squeezebox Touch spotted !!
Sike;452400 Wrote: My thoughts exactly. They should of squeezed an extra inch in.. I agree. It looks like a digital picture frame from a few years ago. I think it needs to be smaller, or have a bigger screen,even if it's a bit more expensive. The Classic looks good on a shelf, this looks cheap. I like the idea of a touch interface, I'm sure it will make using the SB much easier eventually, but I think I'll try and hold off until there is a better version. I'm using iPeng at the moment and it's a big jump in usability for me from the IR remote. But my wife doesn't find it intuitive to search for music, while she has no problem using an ipod. In fact she hardly listens to music now because she finds it too complicated to use. Has anyone worked out what the USB host and SD card slots are for yet? Or are they for future use? I have a horrible feeling that they are just going to be used to load photos to use the Touch as a picture frame.
