It also has the potential to kill off the third party developers of similar products however. This could be the effect that the Sonos app has on the three others who had previously developed controller apps prior to their own. This is not necessarily a problem if the "first party app" (is that a new term?) is far superior to what third parties may have developed. In the present situation, at least in my opinion, I find that iPeng exceeds the performance of the other available options for control, and I think it will force others - in and out of the Slim team - to consider what control should be. I was one of the first to chime in that I thought Sonos made a smart move in releasing their own app (and it may prove to be for them - they continue to get press exposure as a result of this). I now wonder if it is smarter to see what others can contribute to the SB system - this is, after all, one of the most successful features of the product family: the input from the community. -- ds2021 All your bass are belong to us. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ds2021's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10078 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55543 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
