portrait: Slim Devices

Posted on | September 8, 2006 | No Comments

GigaOM has a neat feature on Slim Devices, makers of the amazing Squeezebox network audio-client. founded by then 21 year old Sean Adams in 2001, Slim Devices is about to close $10mio of sales this year – with a mere staff of 30 employees and all expertise from product development to assembly and marketing in-house. Liz Gannes visited Slim Devices hew headquarters, portraying the hardware-startup with the notably open approach towards its user-community.

flashback: earlier this year, Slim Devices announced their new product Transporter to launch, with a pricetag of $2.000 USD clearly aimed at the hifi-enthusiast. if you want to go in-depth, check out my review of the Squeezebox and other network audio-players.
