Oh, I thought you meant not license out their product so their profit margin (and prices remain high), then someone else comes along with better technology and blows them out of the water for YEARS and then they come back with their next generation of computers... this time they're calling them "granny smith"

OK Mikey. You even know I'm a wireless guy and I can't come up with any uses for that.
Printing....the issue here is that it has to be close to the printer. That make not work with the broadcast radius you want. I think you're better off buying a cheaper wireless print server and sticking it in a closet or something.
As for the music it forces you to use proprietary software...fock that. There are other wireless alternatives that just relay the signal to any input on your stereo from any output.
As for the bridging...it has to be written into the software on BOTH devices. Therefore it's also proprietary and won't work with most existing networks.
Sorry man, but I hate proprietary shit...I give it a
Cost breakdown:
Print Server ~$50
Music relay ~$45
High gain antennas from Radio Shack ~$15
For less money I've just accomplished everything it can do and I'm not stuck with anything proprietary.

I've been running wireless mp3s to my home ent system for 6 months now. I pull my mp3 from my data server, wireless (11b) to my TiVo.
My wireless router has a print server too but i don't use because of what Luke says... it's in my garage.
Other than small I don't see that as a big deal. Maybe it is but 150 isn't cheap and there are others with print servers.
I'm not trying to rain on the parade but I don't see the biggy.
