I believe this initial LMS release is going to be rushed out the door to coincide with the release of Honeycomb 3.1 and the Android Market for Google TV (Logitech's Revue). I might be wrong, but I think Logitech's Revue user base is a lot more significant than the SB user base. I also believe that, strategically, the Revue has a lot more business potential for Logitech than the SBs. Having a strong and successful relationship with Google means a lot to any company. The Revue owners have been waiting for an update (enhancements) for the Revue for a very long time. There have been several "tentative" release dates missed for the Revue Android update which has put Revue users on edge. By drastically reducing the Revue hardware price to $99 and by announcing and new software platform, Google and Logitech are trying to revive Google TV and save it for certain death. If the Google TV model is successful it would mean profits for Logitech well beyond what the profits for selling Squeezeboxes will ever be.
I would not be surprised if the majority of the testing of the DLNA/UPnP component of LMS has been done with the yet-to-be release Honeycomb 3.1 platform on the Revue. If Logitech has sufficiently tested this new platform against LMS and found it to be stable... they might release LMS soon and fix the problems related to the Squeezeboxes later. SB users can still use SBS 7.6.x until LMS catches up. Btw, is there anyone in this forum that has installed the "leaked" Honeycomb 3.1 on their Revue and has tested it against LMS? -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91021 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
