iHiFi helps your music go Wi-Fi

Posted by Scott Silverman | Thursday, August 17, 2006 2:03 PM PT

iHiFi ReceiverThe iHiFi transmitters and receiver use Bluetooth connections to help you wirelessly transmit music to your home stereo or other source. Using a small receiver and one of six different transmitters (each for a different iPod or computer-based source), you can wirelessly stream your music using high-quality A2DP Bluetooth audio profiles. At a price of just over $50 for the receiver and just over $20 for a USB transmitter, this is a relatively affordable solution to streaming music from your PC to stereo (albeit it’s no where near as cool/versitile as AirTunes).

The one thing I would like to see in the future is elimination of the middle man. All MacBooks and more recent iBooks/PowerBooks all have Bluetooth (most 2.0+ EDR), so all we need is an A2DP update from Apple, and the USB transmitter is gone. Then it only costs $50 to take your music wireless.
