The article isn't at all about that, though, it is about using the iPod-type device as a sort of music server... wirelessly sending music to your car stereo or bluetooth headphones... maybe to your home stereo from the iPod, making the iPod itself a remote control (the "docking stations" for iPods are usually pretty lame because the remote control abilities are little-to-none) If you want a portable SB that you can fit into your pocket... The Jive remote has a headphone plug.... > > in fact, if these portable devices can stream via wifi, you could use > SS right now! all thats missing is using the device to control SS. They can't... they do bluetooth and they don't receive, they send (so if you are odd and wander around Borg'd up with bluetooth headphones everywhere, you can listen to music without swapping headphones off and on). If SoftSqueeze can run on the Jive... forget the SB-Boombox.. the Jive would be more useful. And even nice while mowing the lawn. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40106 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
