I'm building a house and have been researching solutions for multi room audio and streaming devices. No doubt Sonos dominates this market with the Sqeezebox in close second (not a post to debate this).
With the price point of $350-$500 per device I can't get over the fact that it really only streams/plays audio and at $200 per device you could essentially do something similar with an iTouch/iPod/iPad.
I'm not saying an iTouch alone could replace Sonos however it would appear one could create a similar setup based off multiple iTouch devices and still come out cheaper. Then if someone wanted to commercialize the solution, throw in an app, dedicated remote, and some custom docking stations and you'd quickly have an iTouch based solution with all the features and more Sonos provides.
Thoughts?
