I think we have to remember a few things: - The old Slim Devices would probably not be able to produce both the Radio and Touch, my guess is that the delays would have caused them to go bankrupt. Logitech's economical strength has probably saved the Squeezebox product family.
- The people reading this thread is not the people that should read this critique. This forum is read by Logitech developers and test personal who have done everything very well. The management, sales and support people who you guys are criticizing are probably not even reading this forum. So all you do is creating extra frustration among community members and the few Logitech's resources that all have done their job very well. I feel that its right to critique Logitech when they aren't doing their job but we might need to think about who is reading the critique. If you like the critique to have some effect, it's probably better to call your Logitech sales or support representative and tell them what you think. I do agree that it's painfully obvious that the Logitech organization isn't used to launching popular products which people is willing to pre-order before they have reached the market. It's also painfully obvious that they aren't used to handle release delays, which are quite common in software focused projects but a bit less common in hardware focused projects as most other Logitech products. Logitech is probably more used to releasing products which you decide to buy when you see them in the store. Still, we have to give Logitech some credit, they have actually succeeded in producing the top audio streaming devices on the market. Both the Touch and Radio have so much potential and we have only seen the top of the ice berg so far. Just wait until the third party community realizes that they are small silent completely open Linux machines with great audio circuits which you basically can hack to do whatever you like. For everyone that's still waiting for your Touch, I feel your pain, but as already mentioned it's both worth the wait and every dollar you have to spend to get it. Remember that you are waiting for the best audio streaming device on the market. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77178 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
