I got tired of waiting for my Soundbridge.  I was told today that my order 
would ship "in about a week" and while that little bit of a delay wasn't 
really the last straw, http://www.slimdevices.com/ just came out yesterday 
with a new and improved Squeezebox that has a very similar 280 x 16 display 
that matches the M1000.  And the best part?  I ordered it and it's shipped 
already, I will have it on Friday.  No vaporware there, they actually have 
them and are shipping!!  Amazingly, they waited to announce their product 
until they actually had it ready to go.  No teasing me along for 8 months with 
the promise of "shipping in March" etc etc etc.

I recognize that a lot of people have probably put a lot of time and energy at 
Roku into the Soundbridge, and I may order one someday - I hope it's a good 
product, it sure looks nice.   And I actually sold my original SliMP3 player 
from SlimDevices in order to pay for my Soundbridge, but now that SlimDevices 
has come out with a shipping product, I just can't wait any longer.

Good luck to all of you, enjoy your tunes - SOON hopefully.

Respectfully,

Ted
