I have to agree with Pat. The displays are EOL and it needs two. I think as soon as all the available parts (read populated PCBs) are in a chassis, that will be it for the TP. If somebody wants one, I say buy one now. The Touch also comes close on the digital side at a much reduced cost and the T

Where did you see an announcement that it was dropped? I certainly think the TP's days are numbered at Logitech, because it's just a part of the business they don't know very well or have any comparative advantage in. If you're referring to the absence of the TP on the Logitech web, that doesn't
