I think with the limitations TinySC has, then total system cost reduction will only apply for a few. Anybody wanting multi-room capability is repeatably paying for a simplified server capability. IMHO it would have made more sense to minimize player cost (it is only a user interface, audio out, display and touch interface) and OEM a server like Sheevaplug. We could have continued with current plug ins etc. Anyway, I am sure that the Touch will find it's own market niche, and the good news is that the Duet continues.
