Is it just me or is the Sooloos lineup missing some key components. As a long time squeezebox user I've got SB classics in most rooms including the kitchen; most bedrooms etc. They are all used wirelessly and connect as appropriate (analog or digital) depending on what else is in the room. For example the kitchen SB connects optically to an F80. If I had a Sonos system I could do pretty much the same (with ZP90/120s). This to me is the essense of a multi-room music system.

However, with a Sooloos system it seems to me that I can't have equivalent functionality very easily. That is: there's no wireless connectivity; the closest thing to an SB/ZP is a Source or a Control:10(at > 15x the cost) neither of which fit the environment very well (touch screen in kitchen!); no easy control (except via an iPhone/iPad perhaps); etc.

Seems to me what's needed is a simple streamer for those areas that you don't want a full blown Source/Control point in - ideally with wireless on board.

Thoughts?
