SoniqCast'sElement Aireo MP3 player with built-in WiFi

It sounds like we'll be waiting a long, long time (maybe forever) for Apple to go wireless and add AirPort Extreme the iPod, but CNET has a review of the first and only MP3 player (so far) to come with built-in WiFi, the Element Aireo from SoniqCast. We're not convinced that just being able to cut the cord is worth its $300 price tag or the fact that it only has a puny 1.5GB of storage (though this might actually be an advantage once you realize how long it'd take to transfer 20GB music over an 802.11b), but SoniqCast is promising a software upgrade for the Aireo that'll let users wirelessly swap tunes with each other, which is something we've wanted to see for a long time.
