Just exactly why is it Logitech's issue and why should they have thought or cared about it?! There is an industry agreed upon and certified USB port power spec. How is it Logitech's fault if 1) people buy drives that don't comply with the USB port spec and 2) that they didn't think and plan for that? I will tell you, its NOT. Is it Honda's fault if some idiot puts a set of rims on his Honda with the wrong hub offset just because he wants his wheels sticking way outside the finders because he thinks it looks cool and he wears out his wheel bearings then wants Honda to cover it under warranty. It is not Honda's fault. Honda has a hub offset spec as well as a spec for what size rims will function properly on what model car. All USB drives and devices are not created equally or to spec or certified. One gets what one pays for. And one should buy and use a Certified USB drive with Touch if one wants to try and limit possible issues. As there might even be some Certified USB drives that don't work with Touch, how could Logitech plan to cover every drive? During Beta, we were asked to plug in any USB devices that we owned to see what worked and what didn't. Some devices that we thought would never work did just fine as well as devices we thought wouldn't be an issue ended up not being compatible. USB drives will be just like WiFi Routers, some work with Squeezebox some don't. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76983 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
