OK, let me be more explicit: You are talking about Logitech, the company who doesn't even fund enough development staff for the product line to even make sure that your product will also work on Christmas, Easter and other public holidays (watch out what will happen to MySB this weekend). Now take the fact that you want controller Apps for Android, iOS and probably also some other platforms out of that very same staff. Where does that put you? THIS is what Michael was talking about. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86487
