Well, that notion of yours does conveniently assume away any costs for development of, and support for, the additional software and device drivers. It also conveniently overlooks another basic "fact of the free market": people vote with their wallets. They buy those things that best meet their wants and needs, within their given budgets. Frankly, I don't give a rat's derriere whether a product does what you want it to do. I buy it to do what I want it to do, and assume you will buy what meets your needs. Adam Smith's invisible hand and all that.... And producers won't necessarily try to please both of us (product differentiation), which is well demonstrated by the current offerings from SD, Apple, Olive, etc. If you're so convinced that there's demand for an alternative way to feed music to the SB, then go for it. The slim protocol is documented, so SD doesn't have to be the provider any more than Dell needs to include a Linux CD in every box. It doesn't matter if you can't program it yourself -- you have such a slam dunk business concept that you can hire the code-flunkies and split the proceeds. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31324 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
