RE: Innovative

I'd have to agree that it's not necessarily innovative, but it is a sweet little product. There 'have' been several products for PC, Mac and Linux that stream media via 802.11 b/g to a home stereo. In fact, I was just going over a couple this morning trying to determine if I was ready to shell out the cash for one. I do like the fact that hose products use their own sw (vs. iTunes in Apple's variation,) but there are a lot of plusses that this little toy has to counter that:

1: cost (most the others I have been looking at are 300+)

2: in addition to the music reciever, it's a wireless access point,

3: a wireless bridge,

4: a usb print-server 'lite'

that's a decent chunk of functionality for $130. this is product I am definitely hyped about.
