Most electronic products get no added functionality what so ever after the purchase, if you want more functionality you need to buy the next version of most electronic products.
Logitech (or at least Slim Devices) have historically been an exception to this rule, I think their oldest player still works with the latest version of Squeezebox Server even if it was release many years ago. Due to this it also have a lot more functionality today than it had before. It would certainly be better if Logitech stated these kind of things but as a customer I'd honestly prefer that someone that has been around for a while and see the trends stated it than that no one at all stated it. I think most of the people that have been on these forums for a few years see the same trends as Phil indicates. I don't think we should expect that Logitech will be adding a lot of functionality to this product after you have purchased it. Unless they increase the amount of development resources I strongly suspect that Logitech will focus on fixing bugs and implementing future products. If we are lucky some of the features implemented for future products will be reusable on the Touch but it's not always going to be the case. However, the good news is that most of the software, both server and firmware, is released under an open source license. Due to this I also suspect that we will see a lot of added functionality through third party developers. So to sum it up, the future is bright after all... -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77771 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
