This product has intrigued me in the past:

I think it's fair to say that the team is working hard to release Touch as soon
as possible.
The hardware is done (and in fact has already been accidentally sold), it's the
software that's not quite finished.
It's an ambitious product and predicting software schedules is hard.
It'll be worth t

Lots of the active speakers (all?) have auto-power sensing, they turn on

The Touch will have some backup feature as the Radio I suspect, but
you'd probably need speakers to be on and ready. You'll need this in
any case for music.
I use the SB3 and it is similar to the Touch in that it doesn't have
speakers. I use an IR emitter (bought separately) and the IR plugin to

That didn't work for me though. As I already wrote in another

(You know you will have to buy one at some point anyway, since SB
players by nature are addictive... so may as well get it now.)

of not announcing or discussing new products in advance of their release
makes good sense. Why would they intentionally set themselves up for all

Yes, I'm a beta tester. But we have no more info on release dates than
you have.
I'm currently listening to Internet Radio via the Touch's built in

C'mon Logitech, get your act together. The most important part of your

I think when you pre-order a product and hand over your card details,
you have the right to know when the product will be delivered and when
your card will be debited.
I am worried that something big is going on internally. You've listed a lot of
bugs to be fixed; there's still plenty of things to sort out. However, over
the last five days, there have only been 5 small checkins.
