Many responses here have followed this structure: "If one wants Sooloos-like operability one goes and buys it. Can't afford? Boohoo, don't complain."
I can understand this argument only to some degree. Mostly I don't. Why should we see things so categorically? As if there were no options or alternatives. "Slim Devices know what they're doing, they have provided a finalized product here to our hands and they don't have to follow the competition". What good could follow from that kind of encouragement? The (technical) competition being in a tenfold price category will not restrain from reaching or getting close to it, only one's lack of ambition or dare will. We don't know where the Sooloos' high premium goes to. How much goes to marketing, design or taking back initial funding? Only a small fraction might go to technical R&D. And since SD operates in an open ideology, a whole lot of priceless equity is tied to SD development. Overall I see it as lack of imagination and courage to disregard a product simply for its price tag. And if one is satisfied and happy with one's current SD setup, why not be just that, happy and satisfied, instead of implying there isn't space or right to investigate for something more? -- Jooseppi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jooseppi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18815 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51305 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
