Wireless speaker iPod dock

EOS Wireless is developing an iPod dock that links up to four sets of stereo speakers together with a wireless connection, providing what the company describes as "whole home audio." Electronista reports that each set can be placed as far as 150 feet away from the base station and that the device has an integrated (but detachable) power supply which lets it connect directly to an outlet. In addition to the dock and the transmitter, the base has a subwoofer and its own pair of stereo drivers. Signals are sent out in the SRS WOW (simulated surround) format. The core EOS system is expected to ship in March, including one dock and one remote unit, for $300. Extra remotes will be sold separately, as will a weatherproof outdoor amplifier and a transmitter/receiver bundle, according to the report.
