The two leading manufactures of computer peripherals, may soon become one. Microsoft is rumoured to have a plan to scoop Logitech up with $US9 Billion take over. Even with the rumour in the air, Logitech shares have jumped up 12%, making some very happy investors.
What would Microsoft do with Logitech in their grips? Use them to make accessories for the Zune series, plus controllers and other tid bits for the Xbox 360.
If Microsoft is allowed to do this, it could affect the consumer quite considerately. While there are many competitors in the speaker market, the same can’t be said for the PC peripheral market, with items such as keyboards, mice and webcams. On the other hand, it may give an underdog a chance to pick up all the anti-Microsoft crowd.
