Count me in for 1 (and up to 3 if we're talking about a Boom replacement.) The thing has to be well thought, promise a long lifecycle, and shall not come in a sandwich box. It has to work fine with my current SBs. - I could pay around $70 (that's with all accessories) for a software player properly packaged on an off-the-shelf platform, controlled via iPeng. But probably only once my SBs start dying
A reasonably priced dedicated device, part of an SB-compatible system, has a lot of appeal to me. (I looked at some Olive One videos. I will wait for the marketing haze to lift; But for the moment, surely it does not appear as SB compatible and that's not good for me --DLNA will not enter my home. And second, I hope for them they will be able to pump up performance of the seemingly obligatory color display. Competing with smartphones is difficult, as we've seen.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881
