I think some people are missing the point on Revue vs. SB integration. IMHO, the Revue was driven largely by Google as device to find/play ONLINE, not locally-stored content. I find this to be the fundamental difference between the Revue and other devices such as Boxee Box etc.
If that assumption is true, then it would certainly be reasonable to expect MSB integration, but perhaps not a significant focus on content in local libraries. With four BOOMs and a Duet, I'm a big fan of Squeezebox (also have a Logitech Dream-Fi iPod dock), but want to distinctly separate my whole-home audio system from the three locations where we watch TV/movies (like others, I don't want to power the TV to listen to music). For that reason, I have a couple of WDTV -Live- players to handle my networked ~3TB HD video library. I'm actively looking for another video device and Revue was certainly on my candidate list, but; 1. I would have preferred to see the keyboard optional and an IR/other remote as standard. 2. @$299, it's missing the mark on price: 3x the apple and many other products and 2x the Boxee Box Syabas screwed up the Popbox firmware, so I'm sad to say, Boxee might be a better option for my needs. -- apn 1x Duet 3x BOOM SBS on WHS w/ 8TB storage ------------------------------------------------------------------------ apn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35030 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82366 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
