Now entering the ring of wireless house audio network is uh, Logitech? Yes indeed Logitech’s new Squeezbox duet is taking square aim at Sonos, Rhapsody, Slacker, Sirius and more. Check out the review on the Logitech device for cnet.

The good: Network digital audio system includes excellent wireless remote with color screen and scroll wheel control; supports Wi-Fi and Ethernet home networks; compatible with virtually all non-DRM audio file formats, provides access to PC-based music files (on Windows, Mac, and Linux machines) as well as PC-free Internet radio, podcasts, and premium online music services including Rhapsody, Slacker, and Pandora; excellent online account integration; expandable to multiple rooms.

The bad: Minor improvements could make the already good interface even better; scroll wheel isn’t quite as responsive as the iPod’s; no compatibility with DRM music files such as those purchased from iTunes or Zune online stores; setup process could frustrate those who aren’t tech-savvy.

The bottom line: With its excellent iPod-like remote, the Logitech Squeezebox Duet is an ideal way to stream the full range of digital music–including files on your computer’s hard drive, premium subscription music services, and free Internet radio–to your living room stereo system.

Specs: Remote control type: Remote control;

If you have a cool $1G burning a hole in your pocket give this item a look.
