Hi guys, I read all of the stuff you wrote on these pages, and all I can say is ''Time will see''. The big company that acquires the small one doesn't necessary mean a drop of quality; Logitech surely has a lot of resources to spend in this project, and Slimdevices has a killer application to sell. I'm very interested in this situation, cause I'd like to buy the Transporter, which is available only if imported (a lot of useless costs, specially in Italy), but there's no official distribution outside the U.S. Logitech is obviously a new entry in this sector, it sells music-related products but nothing like the Squeezebox, not to mention the Transporter. But it owns good satellite companies that produce high quality material, and it means a lot. Just look at the brand 3dConnexion, with its pointing devices: I have the small SpaceTraveller, and it's absolutely a rock (even the box that comes with it is perfect). Well, a few years ago this gadget cost 600 $, US only, today the same article costs 200 $ worldwide available, no quality loss (it's still a piece of metal with the jog wheel upon it). So if Logitech wants to mantain this price/quality balance they only have to open the market, assisting SD for sells and perhaps adding a good remote in the box. I don't mention the software cause I'dont know it yet, but the opensource community did a great job improoving it first, so tomorrow they could have to develop a lot more, maybe supported by a Logitech team.
