4-speaker WiFi iPod dock
An iPod dock in development at EOS Wireless links up to four sets of stereo speakers together with a wireless connection, providing what the company describes as "whole home audio." Each set can be placed as far as 150 feet away from the base station, and also has a integrated power supply which lets it connect directly to an outlet. The supply can be detached to rest a set on flat surface. Aside from the dock and the transmitter, the base has a subwoofer and its own pair of stereo drivers. Signals are sent out in the SRS WOW (simulated surround) format. The core EOS system begins shipments in March, including one dock and one remote unit for $299. Extra remotes will be sold separately, as will a weatherproof outdoor amplifier and a transmitter/receiver bundle.
