OK so I'm shallow. I accept the argument that the lable on the box shouldn't effect any decision and that you should use your ears. I have been fortunate to babysit a friends Transporter for a couple of weeks and yes there is a difference and yes I want one, the money isn't really an issue, well

Brand is important otherwise why would companies protect them so much. It's because consumers associate with brands. Would you like to have an F40 with a Fiat badge, nope didn't think so. Do I want a Logitech logo staring at me from the front room, nope. I don't have an issue with Logitech in

I acknowledge that a lot of people feel this way, I'm just not one of them. I'm happy with my Squeezeboxes regardless of the logo on them. I haven't been able to justify the money for a Transporter yet, but if/when I do, the logo on the front won't be an issue for me. On 6/1/07, Keith [EMAIL

Branding is the reason people do a great deal of things, including spending trillions of dollars each year on product X instead of having spent it on product Y. Like many others, the Logitech brand holds about as much appeal to me as a smelly sweat sock. But it's not hard to imagine that folks
