Aerielle's i2i Stream now available
Satisfying our craving for a device that allows users to share music wirelessly to anyone within 30 feet or so, Aerielle's i2i Stream improves on the existing Engadget ghettoblaster by limiting exposure to only headphone wearers who choose to listen in. Broadcasting on the already-crowded 2.4GHz frequency, it promises one-to-hundreds broadcasts, with as many as three channels broadcast in the same location without interference. For $129.95 you and a friend can share an iPod, stereo or any other audio source without catching a sound pollution charge for up to 7 hours, or for $69.95 get just one and wait for another user to walk by. Should be on sale any minute now.
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.
