Logitech built its success on -peripherals-. With the old CEO back in
charge I would expect a return to that rather than throwing
considerably more money into either the Revue or Squeezebox, both of
which require a fair amount of dedicated marketing. They also require a
sizable shift in consumers' perception of Logitech itself, and that
doesn't happen quickly. Expect more iPod/iPad docks and speakers.
Acquiring someone like Audioengine would make 10x as much sense for
them as continuing Squeezebox development.

With a little luck, maybe they'll sell off the Squeezebox product line.
Few of the positive predictions for Logitech & Squeezebox ever came to
pass. The economies of scale and Logitech's buying and manufacturing
prowess never really brought down pricing. The development and QA teams
were greatly expanded for a while, but they burned up all of their
energy shoving new products out the door.
