The problem with the Squeezebox and the mass market is the price. £199 for a music player is just plain unaffordable for many, and looks awfully expensive alongside, say, an Ipod video at £150. I can buy a PDA with wi-fi that's good for a lot more than music for less.
As anyone in the industry will tell you, it's all down to volume. There's no real reason why, built in high enough quantities, a product like the Squeezebox couldn't be sold for half, maybe even a quarter of its current price. That's the challenge - not giving it more gadgets and gizmos for nerds and audiophiles. -- AndyC_772 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndyC_772's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35881
