Ik hoop dat ik de “business case” op tijd rond kan krijgen …

En ik kan niet wachten om thuis met gele vla te gaan experimenteren

The Sonos SUB is a stunningly designed wireless subwoofer that takes the whole Sonos Wireless HiFi System one seismic step closer to the full body experience music was meant to be. http://www.sonos.com/sub

Gisteren kreeg ik een email in ‘de bus’ van Sonos. Sonos heeft een nieuwe apparaat geintroduceerd, de Play:3. Het is het kleine broertje van de Play:5 (voorheen de S5) … Erg mooi.

Daar hebben ze het niet bij gelaten, ook de huisstijl en web de website zijn zeer grondig aangepakt.

Zag zojuist een tweet van @michielveenstra voorbij komen die mij naar de Endgadget site bracht :

Sonos S3 / Play:3 wireless all-in-one speaker system leaked by the feds

… Look what the FCC dragged in: it’s a brand new, unannounced all-on-one speaker for inclusion in your Sonos wireless audio system. A mini S5, if you will, that goes by the name "Play:3" according to the black and white FCC labels — a hint at black and white offerings just like the S5. Curiously, the FCC docs also refer to the Play:3 as the "S3" in keeping with Sonos’ S5 nomenclature. Our friend Dave Zatz speculates that the diminutive size and name is a good indicator that the S3 / Play:3 will feature a trio of drivers and dedicated digital amplifiers, akin to the S5’s five (two tweeters, two mids, and a subwoofer). And you know what? We’d have to agree. Now, given the S3’s size and Sonos’ proven ability to use software to perfectly synchronize audio across dozens of Sonos boxes, you’ll have to forgive us for wondering if Sonos has a wireless 5.1 home theater solution up its sleeve. Well Sonos, do ya? Evidence of the Play:3 vs S3 naming conventions can be found after the break. ..

I have installed the trial version (the full version is GBP 7.99 in the UK markterplace).
The app works fine but currently still requires to connect via a PC or HomeServer.

I hope the next release will show some improvements like a(better) use of the metro interface, as the current interface shows no imagination whatsoever.

And that price, some on guys GBP 7.99 ?
