What about the Creative apt-x Bluetooth dongle (£40) for iPod playing Bluetooth to apt-x speakers (£80). If you get the Conran dock (about £80) you can stream and dock to the same speaker.Creative also do their Android tablet for £60 which has apt-x Bluetooth audio so if you can see your music via uPnP then you can have a 7" touchscreen tablet as uPnP render streaming to the speaker via Bluetooth.

need to look at this

Yes, looked at this yesterday - and did not like the proposition at all! Interesting, but if you think about it -

Very evasive language about what it will be and how it will work, no technical detail, input to design limited to colour only (!?), expensive, I do not need the Tshirts and the hotel nights! Not interested.

In the meantime, the Genelecs got delivered this morning...

See 'my system' thread for installation, set-up and impressions.
