Stream Music to Your Pocket PC While Mowing the Lawn

[Brad Isaac]

Believe it or not, the idea of streaming music to my iPAQ while doing yard work has crossed my mind on far more than one occasion. The thoughts of being out there alone with my lawn mower running around in circles is...well....boring :? . So wouldn't it be great to stream some music while out doing yard work or while painting a fence?
I am not sure if Sputnik had yard work in mind when they built their $250 Sputnik AP 200 802.11b Access Point, but let's just pretend they did.
Feature Overview:
* Wi-Fi®-compliant 802.11b access point
* Environmentally sealed enclosure
* High-powered built-in antenna
* Replaceable external anteanna
* Transmit power control
* Power over Ethernet (PoE)
* Wireless repeater functionality
* User authentication and tracking

Hey, if you got one of these, you'd be one of the first on your block to host "Free WiFi backyard barbeques"!

From the Sputnik website:

Using a directional antenna, a range of several miles is possible.

I could see hooking one of these up and walking down the stream and doing some fishing and still being able to check my email and surf the web. (I need something to occupy me because the trout rarely bite for me :? )

I use Pocket Player on my e805 and stream Shoutcast streams all the time. It works so well I took most of my MP3s off it to save space. Highly recommended. Reaches my whole front yard and some of my back.
