I've been waiting forEVER for someone to come out with a two way remote for the iPod. Now finally, Keyspan has, with their TuneView remote and dock system.

I could never figure out why companies would develop these docking/speaker systems and then either include no remote, or include one with no LCD display. I always thought, "How the heck are you supposed to navigate and see a little 2.5" screen from across the room? Stupid."

I know that some will hook up to TV's and you can navigate using the TV screen, but that's not always what consumers want to do and there's not always a TV available to do that.

Although I like how this EOS system looks, instead of going that route, I think it would be a better setup to buy the TuneView system and then some separate speakers.

I like speaker docks for the iPods like this EOS, but I'm waiting for someone to come out with one that offers a two way remote. Until that happens, my sights will remain on the TuneView solution.

I don't work for Keyspan, but I just thought I'd share with those looking for a solution like the TuneView; not to mention, I'm growing tired of seeing companies like EOS come out with solutions that aren't completely thought through, and I want to start sharing my opinions with them more. What better way to do that, than here?

I hope to see more two-way color LCD remotes with dock/speaker-dock systems.]]>Dec 10th 2006 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/Dec 11th 2006 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/Dec 11th 2006 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/Dec 11th 2006 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/Dec 11th 2006 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/Dec 11th 2006 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/
Further more:
Yes it really needs a remote with a display to navigate the ipod menu.

As for wifi 150 feet? Have you ever used wifi? I barely get 20 feet when there are walls involved, so I would think unless you live in a field or a transparent paper house (which I think Apple has patented recently) this is going to be about as much use as a chocolate teapot. And slight shame on Engadget for not calling them on it.]]>Dec 12th 2006 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/Feb 14th 2007 10:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/10/eoss-wireless-speaker-system-does-multi-room-audio-for-less/
I just got mine and the sound quality is excellent. You won't believe how far the wirless speaker operates. It works in my backyard and upstairs in the bedroom.

The only negative: The blue LED's are like Times Square at night. I have turn the wireless speaker off at night. The lights are so bright, it keeps my wife and I awake. I find this annoying.
