Ultimate Ears Squeezebox ?

[Grumpy Bob]

What system that was created in the last two years and use on a regular basis is not "interdependent" ?

What I mean is I ended up buying several SBs (not to mention Squeezepad and iPeng) rather than just staying with the original SB3 for piping music to the HiFi. With an excellent and versatile system such as the SB-LMS system, it has a tendency to grow! As it happens, I could quite well envisage having one UE-based system with the (former) SBRs just streaming radio and the LMS-Touch for the HiFi.

Frankly I never expected the Touch to be available for ever - but I had always hoped the SB line of kit would continue with new models.

Would it be possible that someone takes over the squeezebox name and continues it ? what about the people that created it 'Slimdevices' ?
Should be hard for them seeing being killed by Logitech

Complete uninformed speculation on my part, but I seriously doubt that Sean, Dean, or other SD people would come back for a salvage operation. I don't know what they're doing these days (Dean can't possibly still be cleaning his basement), but I'm sure that after making their mark with Slim Devices they've moved on to other things. They may well be related to network music systems, and I certainly hope so. But it's hard to see how coming back to un-do a lot of the past few years would hold much appeal for them. They're smarter than that.

Here is the Logitech press release:

This is like a deal with Apple to make profits of downgraded SB radio technology not taking care of all more ambitious music lovers and lovers of SB idea.
