It is speculation, but it's not "wild". And I don't follow your logic at all. What difference does the label make? I would say you put up the "Exclusively" label so that potential buyers aren't under the mistaken impression that the product can still be purchased elsewhere. If you want one, you're going to have to buy it here. > If it were being discontinued and replaced, would it not make more sense > to blow them out in every outlet available? No, not if you can't reliably stock resellers with product. They may be very near the end of their inventory, or sales volume may indicate that the available stock won't last until the new product can reach the US. > And more importantly they would not be at full list MSRP on the Logitech > Website. See the above. There's no reason to offer dicounted pricing on a product that customers still believe is current, particularly if it would increase the chances that Logitech will have yet another Squeezebox product that is out of stock through all channels. It would also effectively be an announcement that the product has been discontinued. That announcement won't be made until a replacement product has been announced. > I could sell 100 of them in a month if they would wholesale the Touch. > Crutchfield and Amazon could sell thousands.

The replacement could very well have additional upgraded features, such as a larger screen. But yes, it could still be called the Touch. Or the Touch 2. > I think it is more of a move to get things under control through inhouse > sales and put the division on a better path. At least that is my hope. Get _what_ under control, selling too many Touches? Are you hoping that Logitech doesn't come out with a better Touch, one that can run TinySC more reliably and with better performance than the current one? -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81036 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
