![]() This way, the product will be dead soon.Īnd here is the official Logitech announcement to Squeezebox customers, from the Logitech Squeezebox forum: All while having an incomplete new product offering that has no value proposition as it is now. Good luck with that, UE… They are leaving their installed customer base and developer base behind, pissing them off and not even offering them an upgrade path. And it’s hitting the market at US$179 MSRP. ![]() There isn’t one new “wow” thing this has over the 3-year-old SB Radio. The product itself…man, it’s so notable in how not notable it is. It’s definitely worth reading the full post he wrote in the Squeezebox community forum, some of which is quoted below: ![]() Thanks to Squeezebox developer and former Logitech employee Ben Klass for the title of this post and for sharing his insight so candidly. It still offers almost the same feature set as the SB Radio, the same music service, the same sound, while (hopefully) offering an improved UX. It’s Logitech’s attempt at making the product ready for the mass-market. But it’s supposed to be much easier to use than the Squeezebox. Here are some additional links to threads and details I found particularly helpful:įrom Michael Herger: Logitech | UE Smart Radio looks like a SB Radio, sounds like a SB Radio and is running almost the same software. Personally, I trust these sources more than anything I have seen from official Logitech representatives–in fact, much of the information I have seen from Logitech representatives has been conflicting or just plain wrong. Most of the information here was gleaned from the Squeezebox community forum where Michael Herger, a Logitech developer, Ben Klass, a former Logitech employee, and others have been very helpful in providing information about this transition in an unofficial capacity.
