Wiim's new flagship streaming music player wasn't AirPlay certified at launch, and now we know it never will be.
Last week, I discovered a surprising fact about Wiim’s new flagship network music player, the $329 touchscreen-equipped Ultra: Unlike all of Wiim’s products to-date, it lacks Apple AirPlay certification. However, there was reason to believe that the streamer could be made AirPlay compatible via a future firmware update once the company finalized the certification process. Today, however, those hopes have been dashed.
Recommended Videos That news will not be appreciated by those who have already ordered the Ultra under the assumption it would have AirPlay — an assumption that was broadly shared by me and my industry colleagues when we reported on the device’s official launch. Even some retailers taking orders for the Wiim Ultra have AirPlay listed as a feature.
Ironically, the fine print on Amazon’s product listing page for the Wiim Ultra has proven to be the most accurate of all: “NOTE: This device is incompatible with AirPlay and cannot function as an AirPlay receiver.”
