After Sonos bricked their old hardware to force upgrades, I wouldn’t trust Sonos if they sold analog jack headphones.
Who’s Analog Jack? And what kind of superpower is that even supposed to be?
They did reverse that one pretty fast
Have they fixed everything their app update broke yet? That would go a long way towards consumer confidence and getting people to invest in any more of the Sonos ecosystem.
Not even close. It’s better than launch, but not by much. Still some infuriating workflows.
It’s a little better but even if they fixed all the bugs there are still basic UI issues like the lack of a widget.
I remember reading this article a couple months ago. Here is a quote:
This operating system is supposedly built around ads; we know how that sounds, but advertising is also prevalent in other TV software platforms including webOS and Fire TV OS. The Trade Desk emphasises a user experience that delivers “better cross-platform content discovery, personalization, subscription management, and potentially fewer (more relevant) ads,” so we hope that the importance of ads doesn’t detract from the user experience.
If this is actually true, there is no reason to consider Sonos. Especially at the super premium price of $200-$400. That makes the Apple TV look cheap.
keep bundling content in little services which cost an extra 10 dollarydoos a month and i’ll keep telling people to walk the plank and saying ARRRR
I don’t know anything about Sonos but what I read in the feed, and this sounds like a big move they shouldn’t make at this time.
Like “let’s splash a big bunch of money on a huge hardware platform effort so people will forget about . . . you know”
Oh goody, another streaming service…just what the world needs.
