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.

AT&T teams with Napster (again) for wireless downloads

We suppose the third time's a charm. AT&T and Napster have quite the history of offering up lackluster deals to customers -- first with that $14.95 Napster To Go scam on Cingular, then the free Napster To Go on AT&T -- but they're finally doing it up right and offering wireless downloads from Napster's 5 million strong catalog to AT&T's music-starved subscribers. Right now your options with the carrier are eMusic for some spendy wireless downloads, or the iPhone. Unfortunately, while Napster bests eMusic on selection, the price remains the same at $7.49 per five songs, and these ain't no DRM-free affair like eMusic. The Napster service will also allow for $1.99 a la carte purchases, something eMusic lacks, and with every purchase you receive an email on your PC to help you download a copy of the track. Verizon and Sprint have quite the jump on AT&T when it comes to over-the-air music downloads, but we'll see if AT&T can start to gain some ground starting early next month when the service launches. Oh, and before you ask: no, Napster won't work on the iPhone.

Logitech's new and sexy Wireless DJ Music System

There are plenty of wireless music systems already competing for our home entertainment dollar, but this new Wireless DJ Music System from Logitech is looking snazz enough to at least give a second glance. Taking a welcome cue from our usual favorite, Sonos, Logitech's remote features a clickable scroll wheel, and while their LCD isn't near as impressive, it should get the job done. The system's StreamPoint software can hook up with popular jukeboxes like iTunes, Windows Media Player and Musicmatch, and uses some 2.4GHz wireless tech for digitally streaming your tunes to the included Music Receiver, which also happens to be a dock for charging up your remote. Logitech has the price set fairly low at $250, but there's no word on when this setup is due to hit the streets.
