the future of squeeze

Ever since Logitech purchased Slimdevices, the inventors of the Squeezebox streaming music device and Slimserver software, things have slide in a very predictable pattern: downhill. There's been some new products, but contrary to marketing hype and the fanboys that infest the Squeezebox forums, none have surpassed the performance of the original Squeezebox "Classic". The original founders of the company have finally left, management has now changed a few times, and as of this writing Logitech's latest incarnation of the Squeeze, the Squeezebox Touch, is still unavailable for sale – some six months after its initial announcement!

What holds the future for Slim/Squeeze? Only time will tell, but I've not a good feeling good about this.
