    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]
