<B>Big Trends:</B><BR>
<I>Wireless Speakers</I>&mdash;except that they replace the speaker wire with an AC cord, so you come out kind of even.<BR>
<I>Music Servers</I>&mdash;of course it's the sound that matters, but the interface is what will make the difference. Sooloos leads the way.<BR>
<I>Apple iPhone</I>&mdash;it's wireless and an iPod. This means your remote can now be your music library too. This will sink in soon, and audiophile WiFi will take off.
