FireWave 5.1 audio ships
Griffin Technology announced that it is shipping FireWave, its affordable 5.1 Surround Sound solution for Mac. FireWave extends to Mac users the ability to affordably and effectively upgrade their sound systems using their FireWire ports. The compact FireWave is easy to incorporate into most computer setups, and portable enough for use with laptops. The bus-powered FireWave receives power from the FireWire port (and thus requires no extra connections.) There are 3 minijack (3.5mm) outputs 6 channels for Left and Right, Center and Subwoofer, and Surround Left and Right speakers. FireWave supports Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, and additional audio configurations through Mac OS X's Audio MIDI Setup utility. Available immediately, the Griffin FireWave costs $100 from the Griffin online store or retail partners. [images included]

WoW
This thing went on preorder in January.
2005.
Finally they're shipping it? Just wow. Needless to say, I cancelled my preorder last fall. It's ridiculous. I think Griffin makes cools stuff but they have got to stop announcing s*** 1.5 years before they can ship it.
