Logitech branded Squeezeboxes? YUCK!

As much as Logitech tries what they produce is most definitely not
high-end. Good quality, but NOT high-end.

assembly of the Squeezebox is being done in China, largely based on
manufacturing efficiency. The Transporter is currently being assembled
in CA with some locally sourced components (the chassis) and with
foreign components

They will have to either work in fast food or retail.
I'm surprised it hasn't it been cloned/reverse engineered yet, being

Still, I think a Logitech Transporter simply does not make sense.
Maybe a Squeezebox, but certainly not a Transporter. If Fiat were to
sell rebadged Ferraris (they own Ferrari) they would, I assure you,
lose customers).

If the diNovo Edge keyboards and Revolution mice aren't high end I

I have used Logitech peripherals for a long time, and some of them are

Gone are the days where people bought stuff solely on how well they

a further example that Logitech is going upstream and introducing very
