I _knew_ there was some other recent competition besides Cisco/Linksys,
but I couldn't remember what it was. That may say something about what

It stands to reason that any "competition" in this space will benefit
the genre.
For all the bucks Sony spent putting elaborate display's in Best Buys,
I haven't seen at lot of activity there.
Of course, when SB puts radios and booms in Best Buy, the only people

Don't ask me why, but I thought about the Linksys/Cisco line of NMPs
today and did a search, and they seem to have completely disappeared,
at least from the US market. Are they available in Europe or elsewhere?
Not that I'm interested in buying. I was just wondering if it really
launched and the

The sharp corners look very.. plasticy.
I don't have a particular aversion to plastic: it's a fine construction

Actually, even on the Cisco side, they expect you to have folks who are
highly trained and credentialed doing the support.
Suppo
And, as always, there is the BIG question of support with a Linksys
branded product.
If support is from the Cisco side it is probably top notch. If Linksys

Reading the new Sound and Vision I found out that Linksys by Cisco has
released several new product that are direct (albeit uniformly more
expensive) competitors for the Squeezebox line
