There is no "right". "Convergence" is a myth, a technical myth. In the end. it's not technical platforms that sell systems but user needs. arztde;467640 Wrote: > I disagree to you Pippin.

I listen to music while I'm sitting on my desk, while I'm in my bath, I'm in the kitchen, while I'm dining, while I'm in bed. I listen to the same music over and over again. I watch TV in the evening when I want to cease thinking and I watch a Video when I want to be entertained. Both are things I only do in front of a TV and I rarely watch the same program even twice. These use cases are so fundamentally different that they will never demand the same UI or integration into the same "system". > > I promise you the next steps are players inside the remote control. > What does this have to do with video or media integration? My remote control is an iPod touch, which is a player IN THE FIRST PLACE or a Controller which has had this for a long while. So what? > > If Logi starts not someone else will start. Dozens of companies have already "started" this, they all failed an so will all that follow. Including Logitech if the are foolish enough to go that route. My list of things that will never be successful, I offer bets about beer on this: - "Multimedia" Players that replace your audio equipment; you will see audio features in Media Players (obviously) but they will be a pain to use and pwople will have other solutions along with them. - Internet on TV - TV manufacturers might include this but people will not use it. - DRMed Music (ok, this is an old one, but I feel it's one I won). - Internet in the car. I explicitly exclude offboard navigation and audio/video streaming. But people will never really use a built-in car device to browse the internet or do their e-mail. I will add to the list by time... Don't get me wrong, there will always be a few people doing this, there's even a number of DAB users out there, but it will never gain mass market acceptance. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68947 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
