First off, congratulations to LogiTech, you have made a wise investment in a great company.
I hope you will keep the SlimDevices branding. LogiTech has a good reputation for making quality products at an affordable price but it is viewed by consumers as a mass merchandise company. SlimDevices, I believe, is viewed as a company that produces superior products with better more personalized support. I think their products should be labeled SlimDevices with subtext a LogiTech company. This has worked well for LinkSys and Cisco Systems. Future products Id like to see: 1) A portable player with wireless support so that music could be listened to at home (with a wireless network) or away (at a hotspot) with 10 to 20GB of storage. With Microsofts Zune coming soon perhaps a deal with Microsoft is possible as to allow people to tap into their home SlimServer with Zunes wireless ability. 2) A hardware SlimeServer. It would an affordable device that would run SlimServer and provided network attached storage for PC access. Just plug it in and optionally connect to wired network. No software setup needed. Copy your music to it and go. 300GB storage would be good. This should be a RAID 1 storage device with easy to swap replacement drives. This way consumers dont have to worry about loosing their music libraries to a hard drive failure. A rackmount feature would be cool too. 3) Whole House Audio components. An in-wall SqueezeBox interface with display would be awesome. That would be paired with one or more scaled down Squeezebox devices without displays (which would be out of sight connected to amplifiers and other audio components). This would allow SqueezeBox technology to be integrated into multi-zoned whole house audio systems. It also would sell well with item 2 above. -- LarryD LarryD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LarryD's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4879 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
