Here's (my rough and probably inaccurate translation for) an excerpt from 'an interview' (http://www.clubic.com/internet/google/google-tv/actualite-458400-logitech-interview-junien-labrousse.html) by Junien Labrousse (Executive Vice President, Products and President, Logitech Europe): > NOW THAT AIRPLAY TECHNOLOGY BECOMES THE GENERAL RULE, WHAT'S THE FUTURE > OF THE SQUEEZEBOX DIGITAL MUSIC STREAMING RANGE OF PRODUCTS? > The Squeezebox range of products fills a very specific need. Listening > to Internet radios, accessing online music services (Deezer and > Spotify, for example). There are several things to improve: we have to > simplify the product's positioning because it's hard to sell, but we > also have to work on the user interface. The first Squeezebox was used > to stream music anywhere in one's house. Internet radios came later. In > fact, most of Squeezebox customers today are more interested by the > Internet radio capability. Many of our developments aren't absolutely > necessary any more, and we need to rework the product from start for a > positioning change. Naturally, we'll keep the features our users have > liked so far. Doesn't smell very good, if you ask me...
