iBall Wireless Stereo Speaker System Lets You Hear Your iPod from 100 Feet Away
Oregon Scientific, a company better known for home weather stations than for iPod accessories, has released the iBall Wireless Stereo Speaker System. This cool looking two piece device consists of:
- a docking transmitter with a standard iPod connector that can be used to both charge the iPod, sync with iTunes, and transmit music to the speaker, and
- a wireless speaker with a built-in remote control for the iPod and an LCD display.
A connection is maintained between the dock and the speaker through a 2.4-GigaHertz frequency-hopping spread spectrum digital radio signal. This allows the speaker to be positioned up to 100 feet (30 meters) away.
This would be a cool addition to my house. I could keep my iPod docked with my Blogging Workstation, move the speaker to the kitchen, the work area of the basement, or the garage, and probably never lose my ability to hear what's playing on my iPod. [ via Popgadget ]
