Airplay compatible speakers

Don't know about you guys, but I am looking forward to the third-party speaker systems compatible with Airplay. I'm out on the balcony most nights here in 95-degree Hiroshima, and welcome wireless music out there. I googled a bit and, not surprisingly, did not come across any compatible speakers yet. Not out yet, huh? If anyone hears of any, let me know. You'll get one free cold Sapporo beer. Just got to get to Hiroshima to claim it.

well as a stopgap solution, as far as Im aware airport express will work with AirPlay - I think it's just a 'new version' of AirTunes which iTunes and AirPort have done for years.

So AirPort express with any speakers plugged in should work. Not a great solution, but if you have some speakers and an AirPort Express/Extreme, you're already sorted

Thanks, Iggy. Yeah, I got Airport Expresses all over the place. Hooked up to speakers and everything. Only place I don't have tunes is out on the balcony. And that's where it is best. That's why I'm kind of excited about this Airplay thing.

looking at that page, looks like the B & W $1,000,000 speaker thing has it.

Seems to mostly be premium brands at the moment, Denon, Marantz, B&W and then some less so like JBL & iHome. I'd check out some of those guys websites.

I'd love a Denon setup, but my bank balance certainly wouldn't
