The announcement is short on specs, but today Bose pulled the sheet off of their new speaker designed to stream music from your PC. The set-up uses opts, rather surprisingly, for an RF USB dongle for its wireless capabilities. That seems like an odd choice when other similar systems have had so much success with Wifi or even Bluetooth. The speaker itself has an integrated rechargeable battery that will last up to three hours (those are spec sheet hours, not real world hours, mind you) and will play nice with iTunes and Pandora. It’ll be available on August 27th for $549, which is considerably more for similar products like Squeezebox, but hopefully they’ll make up for that price difference with fidelity.
