Slim Devices will retain its executive structure and all of its current emplyoees will stick around for the long haul working out of their Mountain View office.
Sean Adams, Slim Devices CEO, posted the announcement in their community forums before anypress releases where released: "As we got to know [Logitech’s] executive team, it became clear that there was a compelling opportunity for us to work together to bring Slim Devices’products to the mainstream market."
