Read that again, "plays content from Audible.com--including audiobooks, newspapers, magazines, and radio shows"

OK, WiFi is great, and sure you can download files from the Audible.com website, but "plays content"? I would have to ask, where do the headphones go! Why, stick it in your ear of course? No, no, the other end!

Has Amazon or Home Depot worked some alteration here? Or is this a special version that Xircom has released, and if so, why haven't I seen it on the Audible.com website alongside the Audible Advisor Springboard?
