RE: Sonos' ZonePlayers iPodize

["Rob Mouser" <rob@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think this comment is very valid!............

""If Apple had an iPod-style wireless remote (or iPod wireless
accessory) to
complement its AirPort Express and Mac mini combination, we get the feeling
that it might be game over for Sonos - especially given that the
ZonePlayers
can't play back AAC files from the increasingly popular iTunes Music Store.
But that's not the case - for now, at least.""

Makes you wonder just how long it will be before Apple take the
"logical"
"next step" with the iPod the Mini and Airport.
A functionally good MP3 server, drop dead good looks and usability to die
for? Move over B&O!


Many thanks,

Rob

I know some people were interested in the Sonos, here is a good article.

Backstage: Sonos' ZonePlayers iPodize home stereo
If it looks familiar at first glance, wait until you touch one. That's the
CR100 remote control unit ($399) for Sonos' new ZonePlayer Digital Music
System, which uses $499 units called ZonePlayers to distribute digital
music
throughout your house. We've been playing around with a couple of
ZonePlayers and the remote (total package price: $1199), and thought you
might enjoy a little peek before the official writeup. The CR100 is
staggeringly iPod photo-like, down to the user...
