Mix Wi-Fi and Portable Digital Audio, Get Aireo

Posted by michael on from the only-difference-is-that-there-is-not-cat dept.

Midwestern gadget freak writes "What do you get when you mix Wi-Fi and digital tunes? The Aireo, which syncs with a PC over a high-speed wireless link instead of a cable or dock. It packs in other features not found in an iPod, but has a measly 1.5 gigabyte drive and won't work with any of the top music-download services. Its maker isn't a household name, but Best Buy will sell the things in a few weeks."

    OS X users can do something similar with Nicecast and an 802.11* connection -- listen to your iTunes music from home at work or a coffee shop, etc.

    You could also broadcast a live audio from anywhere with network access, as well...
