See, I think that is true, but that an improved API that made it easier to write plugins would help. I think the 'extension downloader' is a great thing, too... it makes adding plugins to SBS trivial. I don't think Logitech can get over the hump needed for anything like 'social networking' and such... they would have to leverage existing services. Facebook and Twitter, while big, don't really seem interested in music. MySpace is interested but... ugh... The real leader in that space is Last.fm, though there isn't any real socializing for most people, the music recommendations and listening to neighbors is good... but SBS already has that. I don't believe in convergence... people have enough wireless problems without pushing video around their network. With current pretty HDTV's, it really sucks to have overcompressed blotchy video. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72512 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
