New product: Graphic Squeezebox

Slim Devices is pleased to announce a major update to Squeezebox. We've 
replaced our venerable 2-line text display with a beautiful new graphic 
display.

Shipping TODAY are three new products:

	- Graphic Squeezebox (wireless)	$279
	- Graphic Squeezebox (wired)	$199
	- Graphic Display Upgrade Kit	$69 (after rebate), free US shipping

The new Squeezebox display has 280 x 16 pixels, providing a stunning 
interface appearance as well as advanced animation capabilities. Our 
web site has just been updated with photos of the new interface.

A hardware upgrade kit is also available, which converts an original 
2-line text Squeezebox into the new graphic Squeezebox. The upgrade kit 
includes free shipping in the USA, with a $20 rebate if you choose to 
return your original character display. Reseller pricing and 
availability will be announced shortly. More information about the 
upgrade kit is available here:

Along with this new hardware, we are pleased to announce two major 
software releases:

* SlimServer V5.3 beta, featuring an enhanced user interface that takes 
advantage of the new display. This release adds improved fonts, as well 
as graphical elements in the user interface. Also included (for 
developers) is a preview of our upcoming visualizer feature, which can 
display high-speed audio visualization at up to 100 frames per second!

* SoftSqueeze version 1.0, by Richard Titmuss, adds support for the new 
Squeezebox graphics capabilities and is included in the 5.3 beta 
release. Please give it a try to see how the new display works.

We hope that all Squeezebox owners will consider the upgrade kit. We've 
priced it as low as possible, because we want everyone to enjoy this 
new functionality. Also, over the next few weeks, many new software 
capabilities will be added to the graphic Squeezebox - what you see 
today is just a starting point for this versatile display.

Thanks everyone,

Sean Adams
CEO, Slim Devices
