AirPlay speaker iHome iW1 with Wireless Tech
Since iHome iW1 has released multimedia accessories for just about all of the products Apple ever manufactured, that’s perhaps a bit much, but they did released docking stations and speakers for iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc. It should come as no surprise that they’ve also addressed one of the hottest new wireless technologies developed by the company from Cupertino, namely AirPlay.
iHome says that this portable speakers system comes packed with a Li-ion battery which is being recharged via an “inductive charger” meaning that it will recharge itself while playing music. The iW1 dock comes with Bongiovi Acoustics support, touch-based capacitive controls, and iOS 4.2 apps support.
Perhaps, iHome can bring some serious competition to the Sonos S5 system. The iHome iW1 is the company’s first AirPlay compatible system. It’s also the first we’ve seen announced from any support manufacturer that offers a built-in rechargeable battery for portability.
Unfortunately, no pricing details regarding the iHome iW1 from iHome have been provided for the time being, but given the fact that we’re talking about a latest-generation product that uses one of Apple’s hottest technologies, it’s quite likely that it won’t come cheap.
