logitech products are becoming increasingly unnecessary for most users... thats the real issue.
on the one hand you have apple and all its tight integration that for most apple people works very well, or at least, prefectly for them. airplay is now becoming a standard that 3rd party hardware incorporate. on the other hand, other hardware is integrating more and more dlna/upnp type things, also right into TVs and receivers and game systems. logitech meanwhile, sells an audio only platform that requires mastering a fairly complicated server which has an extremely unintuitive and unforgiving browse exp. what boggles my mind, is logitech makes money from hardware sales, not server development. why they haven't concentrated more on hardware, and making the server just be a middleware layer that allow any app to send the A/V to the hardware, i can't understand. it would save them tons of money from continuing to develop server, which as a music player, is an antique at best. and besides, as audio only, its not only niche, but imo, doomed. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.7.2b - win7 ie9 & xp pro sp3 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 55k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93207 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
