I like my hifi, and the fact that it works with my Apple remote.
Or……”Apple to increase volume sales”.

All they need to do is stuff a wireless receiver in the thing, and I’d buy at least one.
Hey Apple, how about a WiFi enabled digital picture frame with a link to iPhoto.
Apple, please add some decent highs reproduction! The current Hi Fi is nothing but mud.
I wonder what the prospects would be for a truly high end piece of kit– maybe something that resembles an Xserve. High techno-art for the living room and ears.
Hairbo, you can plug it into you Airport Express. That’s what I did.
Just used mine tonight to project carols in a freezing cold park on battery power. The iPod sound was fine, but the microphone input was a little low.
I hope they put HMDI video output in it to connect your video iPod to a large screen with excellent sound.
I went for Acoustic energy Aegos. 2.1. Half the price, twice the sound. Ok, there’s no dock, but I use them with a 1st gen iPod and a Macbook. Or at least I did until I figured they were good enough to replace the hi-fi amp and speakers that were hooked up to my PowerMac.
Apple has the technology to make a HiFi with wireless & battery powered speakers. A surround sound HiFi would be a good accesory for the iTV.
If they had just made one in black I bet they would be higher on the list.
iTunes enabled wireless is the key. They would be #1 with that capability.
