It's not 802.11, it's HomeRF; claimed 1.5mbit, but everyone I talk to says it only sustains about 50% of that.

v2 of homeRF is 10mbit, but again I hear it'll only sustain half that.

Not seen the car player, but the home one has cute plastics and the same CPU as the rio receiver. Not linux though, I don't think, and no amp onboard. No idea if it sounds as good as the rio, as I didn't get a good chance to listen.

I'm sure the display can't be worse than the rio receiver though, in terms of brightness or size...
