Guys, For the most part, it's the same people that brought you the Boom, Classic, Duet, that brought you the Radio. We do obsess about this stuff, believe me. Or ask my wife -- or any of our wives. We spend obscene amounts of time trying to get things right. We're all very proud of the Radio, although there are some issues we still need to deal with.
Remember, the Squeezebox Classic (and thus Boom) had several years to mature to get to the point its at now. We didn't go the cheap route on just about anything. Well, I guess button backlights got cut due to cost, but really, there's not much else (You wouldn't believe how much it costs to make backlit buttons). Audio didn't take *any* cut at all. Moving to a color LCD is *definitely* not a cost reducing measure. It's a feature increasing measure. Adding battery support is definitely not a cost reducing measure. Once you get a battery, you'll wonder how you got along without it. There are certainly some enhancements that we should put in the software to make things easier and better, but the idea that we are cutting corners in the design process is simply wrong. Please, give us a bit of a break, let us fix up the issues that you're worried about. We're worried about them too. We care. -Caleb -- ccrome2 Caleb Crome Sr. Hardware Engineer Logitech SMBU (i.e. the Squeezebox people) <B>The future is here.
