Because TinySC can't handle the transcoding issues for playback of non native streams, so major limitations on radio stations etc. I think however, the Touch in a new world, no old players, will find significant favour in new startup users, and if plug-ins migrate to applets (too early to tell) then Touch should suit expanded larger systems. On the flip side for Logitech the choice of a Linux playback environment, and the licensing will also mean several astute users looking for new hosts for Squeezeplay, trying to substitute Logitech hardware. This has always been a concern of mine.
