I'm reminded of Animal Farm. But I digress. The so called wireless squeezebox, of course, isn't. A regular squeezebox has 3 cables: power, network and RCA to stereo (or headphones, or something). A "wireless" squeezebox is really a one wire less squeezebox, because it still has 2. Next step up is a clock radio kind of thing, a 2 wire less, which still needs power but has integral speakers and gets it's network feed either via 802.11 or power line networking. A truly wireless squeezebox is like a boombox, with integral speakers and batteries. I guess that one really needs 802.11, because there's no power line to network over. The clock radio one is for night tables and kitchens and stuff. The boombox one is for the back yard. Looking forward to seeing these announced in the next months .... :-) (tongue firmly in cheek) -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17185 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
