IntelliTouch has announced their Eos wireless iPod speaker system. The base system will happily dock your iPod, includes stereo speakers and a ported subwoofer and transmit wirelessly to the external speakers up to 150 feet away through walls, ceilings and even outdoors. The external speakers have a removable power supply—meaning it can plug directly into the a wall outlet, or be places on a countertop or mounted elsewhere and powered via cord. Each wireless speaker also includes two stereo drivers and a ported subwoofer.
The EOS system will be released in March. For $300 you get the base docking station/transmitter and one additional wireless speakers. Each additional speaker can be picked up for $129 and there is also an outdoor amplifier to boost signal for outdoor usage also for $129.

Not particularly attractive, but they're reasonably priced (as long as they work well).
Damn I thought this was a set of speakers for my Canon EOS 5D *sigh*
they should put the antenna nub in the center, then light it with a soft yellow glow, and it'll look like a candle!!! Get 4 of them, and you could make an advent wreath of iPod speakers, or 8? and have a minora.
No control over what's playing, no stereo separation between left and right channels, all this for wireless?
Wired sounds better (even seen a guitar player/always with a CORD), and probably healthier. I'll keep my wires, you keep the brain tumors.
This is the first dock I've seen that looks even remotely worthwhile, simply because it has more than one speaker! I'll take my stereo over a regular dock any day, but wireless speakers make this somewhat appealing, the problem is the speakers still probably suck like most of these ipod docks.
Great system. I just bought this at sharper image. I blew away the Bose sound dock and Altec lansing speakers which sat next to in the store.
The wireless speaker range rocks. I works everywere in my 4 bedroom home.
