I would share your enthusiasm except for a few things: 1) The logitech Revue debacle, which put the entire company in jeopordy, not just the media division. 2) The sentiment of the employees posting in these threads. They don't seem very positive about recent developments. 3) This post from Ben (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?96188-New-Squeezebox-Radio&p=714488&viewfull=1#post714488) paints a pretty dismal picture of a company that has no clue about the marketplace that the Squeezebox plays in. Not too surprising from a company that makes most of its revenue from keyboards, mice, and PC speakers. Regarding the a UE version of the Touch. My personal opinion is that if it's in the wings, it's not imminent. I suspect they are going to have a "wait and see" approach. Were the Touch sales really that great? I know the Radio absolutely took off for them. And I don't think it's a coincidence that it's the Radio that was canibalized for the UE Radio to start off with. If the UE Radio doesn't sell well, I think we can kiss the squeezebox line AND the UE Radio and friends good-bye for good. I have no immediate need for squeezeboxes at the moment, so I'm happy. If I were in the middle of building up my system, I would have been very upset. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96262 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
