eHomeUpgrade: Sonos Tunes up Wireless Multi-Room
Posted by Jason Eaton in "ARTICLE" @ 02:00 PM
“Sonos, Inc., the leading developer of wireless multi-room music systems for the digital home, today released Sonos System Software 2.0, a revolutionary software update to its award-winning digital music system. As a direct result of close technical collaboration with RealNetworks® (Nasdaq: RNWK) using Rhapsody® Web Services, Sonos 2.0 enables music lovers to connect directly to millions of songs and thousands of radio stations without ever installing an application or turning on a computer.”
The connection between digital content and digital delivery has become a little more blurred as companies try new avenues of reaching the consumer. While there have been other attempts to disconnect the home computer from the loop, few have been able to gain acceptance and carve out a small niche with consumers. Sonos and Rhapsody are tossing their hat into the ring with a free software upgrade for current Sonos owners, but the question is, will they stay around after the free 30 day trial?
