HomePod Brings Music from iTunes to the Living Room

sammy.lost-angel.com writes "News.com has a story about HomePod, a device by Gloolabs that streams music wirelessly from your Mac to your living room. It's based on a Java application. The device is not very pretty, but it is priced right at $199." Not for nothing, but you can buy a used clamshell iBook for just a little bit more, and use that (along with something like iCommune, or just loading the MP3s to your library ia file sharing) ... but these guys are right, this market is going to take off, sooner or later.

Long speaker cables.

I guess Mac fans can afford it though ;)

I thought it was at least going to copy some of Apple's design.
Heh, yeah, nothing like getting sued by Apple to jump-start your company...
