To me lots has just changed. I was still hopeful that they would update the product range and keep makings SBs, that hope is now obviously gone.
But in the long run I think the product line was doomed whatever Logitech did. They had saturated the market of geeks who wanted to mess with their music servers and iOS is killing their potential consumer market,
The geek market saturation is the exact same problem that Empeg hit.
Unfortunately iOS + AirPlay is missing key features for me:
- syncing between players
- digitising and streaming my DAB radio
And Sonos lacks other feature I need, mainly BBC iPlayer.
I guess some combination of iOS and Sonos could do what I want (AirPort express plugged into a Sonos to give me iPlayer and my DAB radio plugged into another Sonos for my radio stream). But for the foreseeable future I'll be sticking with SB.
I just hope iPeng keeps getting updates for a long time
