My guess is that you are spot on! This way Logitech can run out of stock without having to admit it to the retailers and at the same time perhaps preserve stock a bit longer. Better hurry out and buy now if you want a Touch. As for Amazon etc dumping the price. I really don't think Logitech minds that. The gross price is set so that Logitech can cover hardware and support and still have some profit. The more devices that are pushed to the consumer the better for the business. I think I have stated it before in another thread. But I think Logitech's main problem in relation to the Squeezebox product line, is that it is so different in comparison to most of their other product lines. If they are unable to supply mouse X, they still have 10 other mouse-models that are apealing to the same customers. Hence they don't care too much about having enough stock and order product-runs in due time. If the Touch and Receiver goes out of stock on the other hand, they are pretty much out of business until new stock is produced. I think management at some level has not realised that yet. -- Muele BR Mogens 2 Radios (1 battery), 2 Controllers, 2 Receivers, 1 Squeezeplay.
