Aerielle readying i2i Stream music-sharing device

It looks like those in need of a little wireless music streaming on the cheap (relatively speaking) will soon be able to get their hands on a new device that does just from the folks at Aerielle which, as Crave points out, is better known for churning out gear for the likes of Kensington, iRiver, and SanDisk. Dubbed the i2i Stream, the device employs the tried and true 2.4 GHz frequency instead of that fancy Bluetooth or WiFi, and promises to give you a range of 30 feet or so between devices, each of which boast their own independent volume control and a battery that promises seven hours of juice before it needs a recharge. While there's no word on an exact release date just yet, you'll apparently be able to grab a pair of the devices for $129, with extra units running $69 apiece.

I guess asking for a lower rating results in a higher one.

RATE ME LOWER, PLEASE. I DESERVE IT SO MUCH.

Also, more iCrap.

"the device employs the tried and true 2.4 GHz frequency instead of that fancy Bluetooth or WiFi"

Are these different WiFi and Bluetooth frequencies? Last I checked they are all on the 2.4GHz band... ('A' excluded of course)

It uses the same frequencies, so it wont work if you have WiFi in your house.

For that price I'd get a pair of decent audio players at AS Warehouse..

$130 is just too expensive for something like that

While I understand that the zune wireless sharing isn't so great, I don't think someone would be able to go out in public with this thing without getting called a zune wannabe.

I mean, if I saw someone with this, that's what I'd say.
But that's cause I'm kind of mean.
