However, because our computers don’t always tend to be portable or aesthetically pleasing, we usually tend to not have them near our home stereo system. We’re then presented with the problem of having our music stuck in one place when it really should be in another. Enter the latest version of Squeezebox, the V3; Squeezebox V3 is a wired and wireless digital music solution for the home that allows you to easily stream music from your computer to your stereo. With features such as track listing, multiple OS support, and built-in 802.11g wireless, you’ll be sure to get some great use out of this little box from Slim Devices."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/20060413_1516461.gif" /> <br /><br />This is one sweet offering by Slim Devices. Simple, wireless, good-looking and cheap. If it streamed video as well as music, I'd have already bought one. Alas, I'll have to wait until A/V streaming boxes get down to this price point ($250) before I invest... How about you? Are you temped, or are you waiting for a box that will stream video too at this price?

If I could find the coin for that, I would have it.
Its great looking and wireless too! It might just be what I've been looking for. :D

PS. Does Roku make a wireless model?

I plan on buying one or two. They will go great with my Infrant ReadyNAS (free add-on for SlimServer). I can listen to my music and not have to leave the computer on. :)

Yikes! I just saw the price for the wireless version. Naturally its in USD so I'll have to save some more pennies :roll:
