Airfoil IS a “poor man’s Sonos”! January 11, 2008

Posted by James Webster in : apple, gadgets , trackback

Two years ago I suggested that Rogue Amoeba’s Airfoil could potentially be turned into “a poor man’s Sonos”. Well it looks like they have made that happen with the release of Airfoil 3. The only missing piece I can see is an iPhone-optimised web interface to Airfoil to take the place of the Sonos Controller.

The new Slim Devices/Logitech Squeezebox Duet looks quite interesting as well, although given its cross-platform nature it may not survive a rumoured acquisition by Microsoft with its current feature set intact.

Given I currently live in a pokey London flat from the middle of which I can see into all four rooms simultaneously I don’t think this is a segment of the gadget market that I need to buy into just yet!
