Apple's Airport Express had been the only low-cost wireless streaming solution until now, but it works only with iTunes. PC users who's been lurking on the sideline, especially with the recent Airplay technology that Apple has been pushing. Logitech has come to the rescue and announced the new Wireless Speaker Adaptor that can turn any active stereo speakers into a wireless sound system, caveat is that you have to own an Intel Wireless Display PC.
The Logitech adaptor plugs into active speakers (or amplifier) using an RCA or 3.5mm jack, at which point the Wi-Di enabled laptop should pair with the speakers automatically. Wi-Di technology is already built-in to about 50 PC models and is expected to branch into the Netbook market soon. The device will also be available in a version that works with all Bluetooth-enabled devices, designed with smartphones and tablets in mind, which might be able to reach a larger number of consumers. Both adapters will be available in May for a suggested price of only $29.99.
