I have been banging on about the HDX1000 for a few months. Logitech have done well to maintain the pricing of their products, but I do see devices like the HDX as game changers. All the functionality of an SB, for less $$, with video, local hard disk support and a great case thrown in for free. I have ordered one, just to see if it really has anything inside the box for that price. On a similar note, I do think the Logitech Harmony product faces similar challenges from iPod touch based multi remotes. If I were Logitech, I would be tempted to stick a 'squeezebox' sticker on the front of an HDX1000, and spend all the development $$ I had saved on excellent front end and server software to support it. -- Andy8421 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andy8421's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64706 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
