Soundcast's OutCast 3.4 multi-room speaker is so fresh and so clean, clean
Hard to say if there's any real connection between the thing you see getting washed up in the image above and the Dirty South, but does it really matter? The OutCast 3.4 multi-room, multi-source wireless speaker might not be the sexiest driver in the shed, but given that it goes where the party goes, we're willing to bestow forgiveness. We're told that it's capable of shedding at some amount of water (obviously), and the unit itself touts an integrated subwoofer, internal battery pack (good for 10 to 20 hours) and a backlit top-panel keypad. Mum's the word on pricing, but the rest of the skinny is embedded just after the break. Ya heard?
OutCast and SpeakerCast wireless iPod systems: sorry, Ms. Jackson
Sick of Apple news yet? No, well try on these Soundcast wireless speakers for your iPod then, fanboy. Announced today are the $399 SpeakerCast for the home and $499 OutCast for all-weather outdoor use. Both systems ship with the iCast wireless dock (pictured) for transmitting audio other the air at up to 150 feet (300 feet unobstructed) using Soundcast's (apparently) proprietary 2.4GHz technology to overcome outside interference in this very crowded swath of spectrum. The SpeakerCast features a 50 Watt per channel digital amplifier while the waterproof OutCast features a 100 Watt digital amplifier and NiMH battery for use when away from the mains. Both get real by Q2. [Via iLounge]
