Rob,

To be pedantic, it would require also that SonicBLUE permit you to help in such an effort, no? Now, this might continue to be the case, but with the purchase, all the intellectual property that you guys came up with belongs to them now, so they could (in theory) say "no, you may not make a nice modular interface for those users that want it", and even if Mike or Hugo might be sufficiently excited by the idea, it would still die of crib death.

That said, it'd be nice to know that either your previous message really is "the voice of the company" on that topic (I know, I know, no official voice of the company, just to know that if there WERE a voice of the company that it'd be saying the same thing ), or to know that the modular interface/API being talked about really is coming.
