Re: the OSX comment and supporting legacy devices. As long as your Mac has firewire ports you can run the latest OS. This means that even those color-coded iMac's can run Tiger despite the fact that they are about 8 years old now with a G3 inside. And it runs pretty well I must say. I have one of these running Tiger at home with a 400Ghz G3, 192MB of RAM and it's not much noticeably slower than on my 1GHz G4 Powerbook.

I know the minimum requirements for XP are pretty low, but it runs terrible on those older machines. The biggest problem I see is that MS has such a stranglehold on the PC OS market that everyone has no choice but to switch, especially with the "planned obsolescence" model that MS loves so much.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
