Well it looks like Logitech is about to throw its hat into the ring for wireless music systems.
I posted about my trials and tribulations with the Creative SoundBlaster Wireless thingy a while ago, although its one key feature was being able to use the remote to browse/select the music.
Logitech has taken a cue on this and the remote looks pretty slick. Some questions from me on this:
- No home network required. You would think that the target market for this would have a network already, but this uses a proprietary 2.4Ghz spectrum radio connection. That probably makes set up a snap. I wonder how it will do on range?
- Performance issues? Soundblaster Wireless was notorious for delays in browsing music on the remote. Hopefully Logitech has tackled the problem.
- How many times can the remote be dropped by a two year old and still function?
$250 price point seems reasonable, although it's still above the $99 spouse factor. Looking forward to trying it out, at least (save the receipt!)
