Mint Studio Multi-Room Wireless Speaker/iPod Dock Review
Original at Gizmodo
• Wed, Oct 21
By Jason Chen It also still supports line-in and still acts like an iPod/iPhone dock, and works fine in those respects too. With the low price and improved featureset, I think the Mint Studio is a pretty good buy for people who want cheap multi-room audio that can also function as an iPod dock. [Mint]
