I was addressing the thread title, whether the company might be missing a market opportunity. I believe it is. Sometimes the most elegant engineering solutions for products are the ones that are described very simply, provide support and handholding to shield users from the details, and so ultimately are easily used by people who have no idea (and no interest in) what the hardware/software are doing. I wouldn't describe this product line in that way. THAT was my point. I have no knowledge of the company, but the reported purchase price of $20 million, if correct, was rather modest by Silicon Valley standards. If it was profitable at the time, the numbers can't have been terribly impressive. I realize that was two years ago and much could have changed. On the other hand, even without becoming a super-mass market product, sales today could likely double-triple-etc and make a lot of people happy. I would guess you want the product line to continue to grow and evolve, as I do, and the greater the market success, the more likely that is to be the case. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43198 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
