I think a chumby style boom box would be a nice addition, but I would
say they need to do a lot of work on the Squeezeplay software.

Very, very unlikely. Unless I'm missing something, there would be

This has made for some interesting reading. It seems to have been quiet
on the SB front lately. I chalked it up to slowed development due to a
slowed economy.

But, would anyone care to consider my hypothesis that if SD came out
with a 'box' - think something like a NAS or a fitPC or mac mini (or
the sonos lump), Squeeze would be almost entirely on a par with Sonos?

I'd posted some months ago that it is unusual for founders to stay

Oh...
let's wait and see but I'm not really excited about those. I was more
waiting for an upgraded, higher end SB Classic, something that would go
between the SB Classic and the Transporter. I'm not really into fancy
touchscreens and controllers.

It's more than just a boom... I was talking to someone a few months ago
from Logitech, and told them that while I loved the Boom, it was still

What I was looking for was something much smaller (like the old Sony

As for RO53BEN on the Sonus Forum and I believe known as Jafacake on
this Forum, he rants about Sonos and bashes (most of the time
incorrectly) Squeezebox. Appologees to Jafacake if he is indeed not
RO53BEN.
