When Logitech emailed me saying I was invited to try their new beta for the SqueezeBox, I thought it’d just be another software download, I was very pleasantly surprised to find a actual piece of hardware was shipped to me. It’s their new “Jive” platform, basically it’s a glorified remote for the SqueezeBox. Actually thats a little unfair it’s more like a mini PDA with a colour screen and wireless. The clever thing is you can write your own mini applications to run on the device, in fact along with the device Logitech shipped me a book “Programming in Lua” (Lua is the scripting language supported by the device) to get started with.
I have to say how cool it is to receive something like this for free!
Looks nice , i think msut be first for the usual Beta’s that are coming out ? anywhere i can signup too ? ^_~
Jammy get!
Hi,
Like so many of squeezebox users, I’m waiting for something like this like it is gold
Can you share something, like how does it work, fast/slow, practical… anything…
Thanks and I understand if you can’t for some non disclosure agreement…
Pedro.
Yeah - Ive devoted plenty time on the “hunt” for freebies such as this, and have a devoted community searching for true freebies!
