Wireless Bluetooth Audio Receiver

In my never-ending quest for a cable-free world, I stumbled upon this nifty wireless receiver. Essentially, it gives any iPod speaker system Bluetooth capability. This device simply plugs into the 30-pin dock connector of your speakers, allowing any Bluetooth audio device within range to send an audio signal. Previously, if I desired to play music from my MacBook, I would have to plug it into my iHome with a 3.5mm male to male audio cable. Now, I merely plug this device into my iHome and tell my computer to "Use as Audio Device". The range is limited to 33 feet, but that's much longer than my audio cable. This comes in very handy when I want to sit somewhere else in my room without having to move my iHome or worry about a cable. I can see other uses for this device as well. Because the iPod touch and iPad are each Bluetooth equipped, it would be convenient to use this rather than docking the hand-held itself. Imagine sitting across the room, reading the news, playing YouTube videos, streaming Pandora Radio and listening to all of it through your speaker system. Maybe you have a non-Apple product that won't dock with your iPod docking stereo. As long as it has Bluetooth capability, you can use the two seamlessly. I would highly suggest this Bluetooth audio receiver to anyone who wants to cut the cord and still enjoy the beauty of their iPod speaker system.
