Good point. It's awfully hard to see them keeping two products at the
same price point with the same basic function (even if the details are
very different). Maybe Logitech is out to kill the SB, but I'm hoping
that we'll end up with a win-win convergence. Like the slick remote
many have been craving, while maintaining SB's support for lossless
formats and top-notch hardware. 

But then I read lines like this (from the web page on the the Logitech
product) and get more pessimistic.
