I think the Bose sounds amazing for being a dock. You guys can't really compare these "docks" to a $1400 / pair Polk Audio speaker system attached to a $2k receiver. For these App…

I might be a bit more excited if the thing had a rechargeable battery. That's forward thinking. 6 D batteries hardly is... Wi Fi ala Airport Extreme would be another great step fo…

I don't get it… why would I need that thing if I can enjoy my iPod video with my harman/kardon sound system with just a $19 cable

I predict this product will be a flop.

I have a Bose Soundock and it is nice. The problem is that it just sounds like a single speaker unless you crank it. The biggest problem with the Bose, and with the Apple thing, is…

I'm sort of remembering something about disk response speed and gigabit networking... I vaguely recall somthing like gigabit being faster than most drives can handle, so 100BaseT …

I'll probably just stick with non-network drives then. I'm sure a NAS like yours is great for many things, but I shudder at the thought of opening 500 MB Photoshop files over a 100…
