Our reason for fitting USB and not Ethernet is down to product placement.

Whilst we love our techie clients, and acknowledge that at the moment the majority of our userbase falls into this category, the fact is that empeg car is primarily a consumer product.

USB is fitted as standard to virtually all new PC's and Mac's, and it's plug and play. Can you imagine the support overhead if we had to help thousands of consumers install network cards and set up TCP/IP?

This may not be the ideal solution for many people on this board, but we are convinced that it is the correct solution for the vast majority of our clients.
