The news of Cisco's home entertainment product push came out last month, but today we have learned some more details about the product names, pricing and availability. Linksys by Cisco (another name change?) announced today two new home entertainment-related products (the Wireless Home Audio system and Media Hub).
The Linksys by Cisco Wireless Home Audio system reminds me of the Sonos, Logitech Squeezebox Boom and other multi-room audio systems, in which users can stream audio files stored on PCs, devices and over the Internet throughout different "zones" set up around the house. The Cisco system uses Wireless-N (802.11n) technology to deliver music throughout the home, and supports Internet music services such as Rhapsody, AudioLounge and RadioTime.
