    Sonos announces iPad app

    I've always had a soft spot in my necrotic heart for Sonos. In the face if iPods, Zunes, mobile phones, and everything else, they've kept pumping out great, compact products for folks with big houses. They've never pretended to be too high-class for the rest of us yet you basically use their products to create soundscapes, just like Disney World, Vegas, and the haunted house I made in my basement as a kid. Sonos just announced their iPad app - probably available in August - that allows you to control your Sonos system on the iPad's bright screen.

    What we have here is the Sonos CR200 controller that was leaked a couple weeks back. By now, I'd imagine most of the CG audience is familiar with Sonos and what they're all about, so I don't really need to dive into that. All you really need to know about the CR200 is that it features a 3.5-inch capacitive VGA touch-screen and has a kickass keyboard. Just check out the video to see what it's capable of. Available now for $350.
