[SlimDevices: Touch] Will we ever see an in-car version of the Touch?

2009-09-17 Thread MadScientist
I'd love to have version of the Touch in my car and have access to most, if not all, of my flac library. I wonder if we will ever see a version adapted for in-car use? Or is this just too far removed from Logitech's product development pipeline. In which case a DIY job may be feasible? MS

One of the SB Touch beta testers (forum username: iPhone) has been using the SBT in one of his vehicles. Says it works great. I don't think he has posted any photos yet, but he has posted some information about it in the forums, which you should be able to turn up via a search. -- aubuti

Thanks John. That's good to know, and covers the use case I'm most interested in. USB hubs are great when they work, but I have seen reports of issues with certain devices and/or their associated software when the connection is via a hub rather than being directly attached. -- fuzzyT

Interesting. It makes some sense to store the DB with the music files, though at the expense of adding some complications. Versioning of the library DB vs the installed SQL engine will need to be managed. This could hit on server software upgrade or when moving storage from one Touch (or
