I've used the Sonos device for a few hours now.

I love it.

I love it a lot.

I wonder if they are making the next version of this device to support video streaming.. you must.. you must.. :)

And, make it cool like you do.

Go Sonos !!!

Would you like to have Sonos offer Video Streaming solution?

    Bits and pieces of the dream product are being developed in the margins.

    While most current mid range (and up) TV's and Blu-ray players will stream from the Internet and from DLNA servers, the user interface is slow and poorly developed.

    Wireless technology for streaming HD video is not quite ready for the mass market, but there has been progress. If you read the fine print about the candidate technologies, their reliable range is limited to about 30 feet -- under excellent conditions.

    Technology exists to send video from TV to TV, but it is not truly wireless -- it uses the existing CATV wiring.

    An interesting point about the current SONOS system is that the hardware components are generic stuff, there is no ground breaking hardware involved. The SONOS contribution is clever integration.

    As these video technologies become generic, assuming that SONOS can develop a slick user interface, I think that there is room for a SONOS product, but at present I don't think that conditions are ripe.
