The AirPlay market doesn't seem to be shrinking (http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/08/apple-airplay-devices-set-to-explode-in-2011/) anytime soon, giving Logitech ample opportunity to tread on ground already marked by the likes of JBL (http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/11/jbl-ships-airplay-enabled-on-air-speaker-dock-charges-stiff-pre/) and Klipsch (http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/21/klipsch-gallery-g-17-air-soundbar-review/). This morning, the outfit's introducing the Logitech UE Air Speaker with AirPlay technology, enabling uncompressed audio streams to flow from one's iTunes library, iPad, iPhone or iPod touch right to the home stereo. You'll need both the boombox and your AirPlay source connected to the same WiFi network, after which you can pipe sine waves to its pair of tweeters and woofers. Users will need to download the (gratis) Logitech UE Air app for setup, which will be infinitely more useful when the speaker itself starts to ship to Europe and the US this April for $399.99.
