Sonos shipped its first wireless iPod/iPhone dock WD100, which turns the portable devices into a music source for the company's wireless multiroom-audio systems.
The wireless dock is available through authorized Sonos dealers and the company's web site at a suggested $119.
Sonos systems use amplified and unamplified tabletop clients, called ZonePlayers, to stream music wirelessly from a PC and from the Internet.
With the dock, consumers will be able to their music libraries without booting up a PC or even connecting a PC at all to a Sonos network. The dock will also enable friends to bring their iPod or iPhone to a Sonos household for playback through a Sonos system.
The dock will also stream music from Internet radio applications stored on a WiFi-equipped iPod Touch and iPhone.
The dock, which charges the docked Apple devices, captures audio from the docked devices' PCM audio output, bypassing the devices' tiny digital-to-analog converters to deliver higher quality sound to Sonos clients.
The Sonos Wireless Dock is compatible with iPod touch (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation), iPod classic, iPod nano (3rd, 4th, and 5th generation), iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and iPhone.
