Tweet

Whilst Logitech are yet to offer official confirmation it appears that they are about to offer an updated Squeezebox in the form of the Squeezebox Touch which comes with color, captive touchscreen display and which, thanks to Wi-Fi connectivity, will serve as a wireless media hub capable of streaming audio files to audio setups (such as Hi-fis and home theatre systems) as well as offering access to internet radio stations via your home network.

Sporting a 4.3″ 24-bit color captive touchscreen, the Logitech Squeezebox Touch is said to offer MP3, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, Apple Lossless, WMA Lossless, APE and MPC file format compatibility as well as offering support for MP3, Ogg, and WMA internet radio streams whilst also offering USB connectivity allowing you to play digital music and view digital photos directly via USB flash drives whilst, in terms of output, RCA stereo, digital coax and digital optical outputs are taken care of as well as a headphone jack.

In terms of network support the Logitech Squeezebox Touch is said to offer true 802.11g wireless connectivity (curiously no word concerning Draft-N support at this juncture) as well as 802.11b and 802.11g wired router support courtesy of an integrated Ethernet port with WPA Personal, WPA-2AES, and 64/128-bit WEP encryption ensuring network security.

There’s no word from Logitech as at the time of writing concerning the Squeezebox Touch’s envisaged availability, however, pricing is expected to come in at around $300.

The moment Logitech offer an official release concerning the Squeezebox Touch we will, of course, bring you an update (as well as better imagery).
