Logitech Acquires Slim Devices, Dave Acquires Squeezebox

In a strange twist of fate, both Logitech and I acquired Slim Devices on the same day. Though, I assume Logitech’s acquisition will last a bit longer than the 30 days I get with the Squeezebox. Given how well Logitech has integrated the Canadian business responsible for Harmony remotes, I’m expecting good things from this merger. Slim Devices products will see a (much larger) retail distribution, that they couldn’t muster on their own, and it’s reasonable to expect prices to eventually creep down. Additionally, I expect Logitech to work SlimServer software into other products such as their new Wireless DJ Music System — which happened to impress me at DigitalLife.
