+1 - Fat players are subject to (un)planned obsolescence and do not serve the customer right. - Trying to monkey the touch and feel of a smart phone is an error. Looks like phones are moving faster, they are "smarter" and cheaper. The competition for SP devices is an iTouch with a quality dock. - Use of a non deterministic system on the player is an error. Put less experienced linux/web/... developers to the task and you just compound the issue. (Add to that the impact of such changes to the current user and developer community.) What I want to see next: - A slim device, with tremendous audio quality and ability to drive amp and devices. Services that make sense, like a high-res audio store, authorized covers and liner notes, print-on-demand album catalog, and exclusive access to higher quality radio streams. Color/touch screen is not mandatory. - Serious effort put into the server, adding room correction, MusicIP-like capabilities, merging system actions and playlists, and last but not least power management. And why not roll an ISO/VM distro, and qualify a few brand computers? I really don't know where the SB line is going, but I sure would like to know where the old team has gone. -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 2 SB Classic (fw 130), 1 SB Boom (fw 50) SqueezeCenter 7.3.4 (Debian 5.0) with plugins: ContextMenu, SaverSwitcher by Peter Watkins Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) FindArt, CDplayer by bpa BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple TrackStat by Erland Isaksson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78465
