imo: the apple stuff is way easier to use its way cheaper it does video its easier for someone "unitiated" to just start using, ie. its more intuitive it handles multiple wifi hops, (slim typically only does one robustly)
the only real advantages of slim stuff are: sound quality syncing, (which most people don't care about) some online services apple won't do and the fact that it isn't apple, so u can do flacs and RG, avoid itunes, and so on, but most people don't care about that either. and in fact, most people wouldn't care or perceive a difference in the sound quality. so what you have, is an expensive product, that is exponentially more expensive to expand, that doesn't do video, that for many people isn't easy or fun to use. not to mention, developers who won't even commit to fixing ONE top ten voted bug a release. its a frustrating product, b/c it COULD be good, you can easily imagine it being tweaked to become good, but the overwhelming feeling i get, is that they don't think thinks like UI navigation, which is antique, unusual, awkward, and frankly laughable, is worth the effort to make good. -- 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=94223 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
