Kind of lost me here. The Touch Squeezeboxes are stacked up in warehouses. No product has to be run or prepaid for because they are already built. And since warehouse space isn't free, a company will spend the money it needs to on software engineering just so they can get rid of the storage fees and get another production run started. I don't think money is the issue here, it is releasing a product with the proper firmware and server software. Remember, most of the Slim Devices Big Kahunas are gone, so the Touch roll out is mainly on Logitech and I am betting they want it to be Gold when its released. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73231 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
