13 August 2008 3:13 by Rich "vurbal" Fiscus | 4 comments

Lite-On Technology Corporation, makers of numberous products both for their own Lite-On brand and various OEMs, is working on developing new networked audio products. The new audio products will use technology from BridgeCo, a company that specializes in products to connect consumer electronics to computer networks.

"BridgeCo's deep market knowledge and their extensive product testing, combined with the most extensive feature set available and the ease of enhancement, is allowing Lite-On Tech to confidently develop multiple and differentiated products for customers using JukeBlox," said Frank Lee, Vice President of Network Access Business Unit at Lite-On Tech.

JukeBlox is Linux-based, and includes standard functionality like an AM/FM tuner and alarm clock. It also supports both Pandora and Rhapsody. It features Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB, and UPnP support for connections to individual computers or entire home networks.

yeap, its a trend alright, apple was not the first however, there were others they failed at the time though. too expensive and not a lot of homes had wireless. the networking video devices did catch on at the same time though, maybe lack of interest from public,who knows. i know i wont buy it i have no use for it.
