Yes I do agree but that there are apps that are native and do give good experiences but from Logitechs point of view there are two points of view. Firstly surely if you are going to release an app you should at least make sure its going to provide a good experience. Secondly there is also that psychological thing (and its crazy I know after spending £100+ on a radio) that £3 on an app is annoying. Finally I work in IT dealing with a lot of regular consumers. There is a significant proportion who would get a Squeezebox, see the advertised app download it and find it sluggish and simply assume all other apps are like that. If they were instead delighted with a nice responsive UI that made them want to use their SBs more then they are far more likely to buy more SB for other rooms. I don't want to even go into other reasons why having a good free app will drive more sales but I can certainly think of a few. Anyway I'm just coming at this from the point of view of someone who has just bought a SB and has only moved to Android phone from Symbian in the last 4 months, previously things like apps to control the device wouldn't of factored into the decision. -- Jaicee ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jaicee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=45802 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86487
