The Sonos has a lot of things wrong with it, including the fact you MUST connect the first player to your network BY WIRE. Only the second and subsequent players can be used wirelessly. I'm sure most people don't notice that little tidbit.
I've seen/touched the Sonos controller a number of times, including at CES and Macworld in 2005 when they were launched. but I'm pretty sure I'd seen them at a Macworld prior to that. A lot of people likely imagine the controller to be iPod sized I suppose. It's definitely a two hander or one hand and a table/lap to resting it on. I just want to see options from Slim/Logitech. The polish is what sells their products. I'd be surprised if they weren't outselling Slim products at least 4 to 1. I've evaluated all my options over the past few years. I wasn't an early adopter of the Slim products because they weren't there yet. Last year they reached, along with Slim Server, a level of maturity I felt had reached the trigger point. At the same time, Roku that showed some wow early on was all but dead and Sonos, despite its polish had the unfortunate high price and some restrictions that didn't make me happy. Its server solution was also far from ideal at the time. In terms of low-level IP, Slim has what I consider the lion's share. Logitech likely considered the same strengths when making their acquisition. Now I'm very curious to see what will finally come to the table. Logitech are not typically niche market players. At least not esoteric niche markets. There are so many possibilities and my curiosity has obviously got a hold. Do I have to get a job at Logitech to find out what's going on? :) -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36259 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
