People are already talking about a new remote, which would be great, however this opens up a whole new can of worms itself when concidering todays takeover news.
Unless it's a IR based device (limited functionality and not what people want) or just a fancy Logitech/SD branded web tablet (i.e. a crippled 770), it's going to have to have some kind of proprietory software if it's going to be as slick as, and compete with, the Sono's. So, my questions are; Are logitech prepared to build a device and software that will function in Linux and all the OS's that SlimServer currently does? And will that remote's software be open source? Surely it would have to be if it's integrate effectively with an open source SlimServer and allow devs to add features to Slimserver and use them with the remote. Thats why i dont believe it can stay open source for long, Logitech clearly intend to intergrate it into thier own product portfolio. There is no way they will start making there own products open, something will have to give. So how is this going to work? Should we be careful what we wish for? -- autopilot *SlimServer Version:* 6.5 - Windows XP. *Amp:* Cambridge Audio 640a (living room) / Denon MD30 (bedroom). *Speakers:* Mission 701's (living room) / Kef Cresta 1's (bedroom). *Remote:* T-Mobile MDA Vario / Sony PSP / Cambridge Audio Explorer (IR). *Clients:* 1 Squeezebox3 + Softsqueeze. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ autopilot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28861 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
