More often than not, a monolithic public corporation acquiring a small independent company ends up stifling innovation, sacrificing quality for quantity, and inexorably suffocating the golden goose. Happily, that scenario never played out when Logitech bought Slim Devices. While we don’t have any insight as to what’s gone on behind the scenes, we can tell you that the Touch—the fourth addition to the Squeezebox family of digital audio receivers under Logitech’s reign—is utterly fabulous.The Squeezebox Touch’s slab-like industrial design harkens back to the Squeezebox 3, which Slim Devices shipped in late 2005. But where that player was equipped with a 320x32 vacuum fluorescent display, suitable only for displaying text and crude, monochrome graphics, the Squeezebox Touch is outfitted with a 4.3-inch, 24-bit color, capacitive-touch LCD. The onscreen icons are just the right size for our relatively fat fingertips, and we had no trouble navigating the menus.
