Do you have facts to back that up ? Logitech SqueezeBox are selling well : http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/electronics/322215011/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_e_1_3_last http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/electronics/172633/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_e_2_3_last http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/electronics/172681/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_e_3_3_last Those rankings have been fairly consistents over the last months. The most amazing to me is the portable radio and boombox category, where the Radio is competing effectively against $30 radios ! Second, if Logitech was not making money, and its products were not successful, the competition would not try to emulate them : http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/30/grace-digital-adds-color-displays-on-new-solo-touch-bravado-x/ Facts are : First, according to one of the largest US retailer, Logitech products are selling well. Not as much as iPod, obviously, but I don't think it's possible. Second, the SqueezeBox line is seen as sufficiently successful and generating enough profit that competitors are jumping in, not the sign of a dying market. It's true that Logitech could decide to stop here, but the signs are that Logitech is successful with the SqueezeBox line and will continue to try to serve that market and sell more boxes. And, because of competition raising the bar, this will mean new products. Now, the communication and actions of the company may not be that clear, but all big companies are like that. Logitech may make blunder short term, but long term they can not ignore what the market is telling them.
