On the way from Sonos is the £99 WD100 Wireless Dock for iPods and iPhones, allowing music stored on the portable devices to be streamed to any room in the house with a Sonos unit.
The WD100 accesses music digitally from iPods and iPhones, and sends it wirelessly to the company's ZonePlayers for digital to analogue conversion and playback.
It's compatible with 1st, 2nd and 3rd-gen iPod Touch, iPod Classic, iPod nano (3rd-5th gen), and iPhones, and will be in the shops at the end of October.
Sonos President Phil Abraham says that 'This new dock reinforces our mission to provide our customers with access to all of the music on the planet, including everything available on an iPod and iPhone in the home.'

Ok I guess for other peoples ipod's it could be useful but if you don't want your pc on why not just use a NAS drive? then you can still access your whole library.
does this mean you don't have to have your PC constantly running to use a Sonos - that's definitely a plus. Will be interested to see a review of this.
Also, it will allow you to use someone else's iPod as a source.
why? if it's on your ipod then it's on your itunes library!
what's the point?
