Fair enough. I have concerns about Squeezebox Radio based on some of the initial feedback about the quality of the hardware itself. I know that Sean and company used to obsess about providing rock solid hardware AND firmware/software for their product. I doubt Logitech has the same fanatical attention to detail. I'll give another example... Harmony. Logitech bought Harmony and for a while all was good. Then they started to greatly cheapen the construction of the devices, to the point that I've literally had five different Harmony 880 remotes replaced during warranty due to the ultra cheap construction quality. Additionally the new product the Harmony 700, which has replaced the 880 is apparently a total piece of junk with cheap buttons, no charging cradle, etc. I guess you could say I don't have warm fuzzy feelings about Logitech, they are harlots. I do have warm feelings about Slim Devices though, it's too bad that they got acquired by Logitech is all. -- jmpage2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69719 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
