Exactly. It' based on Logitech's market research (available on the internet if you search). The "high end" audiophile, music lover market, looking for value for money, is too small and not profitable enough. Logitech bought SB which had this market segment and wanted to, in classic business fashion, wanted to take it to other segments of the market, except it wasn't that easy to satisfy the core of the users, and the new audience simultaneously, and the core is too small to bring in dough. As usual in the market place, as in democracy, the majority wins out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gadgety1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33223 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96999 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
