Just days after the last update on the progress of the iHome iW1 AirPlay speaker, information has come out that iHome plans to release the much awaited (nearly a year) AirPlay speaker on the 31st August.
A quick scan of Amazon UK website shows that the iHome iW1 has arrived, but currently listed as 'out of stock'. I expect that to change in the coming days.
With a price point at around £300 it is amongst the cheaper AirPlay speakers announced to date, but time will tell if it also provides value for money as there are some strong alternatives around the same price class (read Sonos).

iHome iW1 video and possible September release date
Nearly a year has passed since iHome first announced their coming iHome iW1 AirPlay speaker as one of the first audio manufacturers to embrace the Apple streaming technology. Finally there are signs that the iW1 might be launched soon, although a release date has not been confirmed yet.
iHome seems to have updated their product page for the iW1 AirPlay speaker and on their Facebook page they are reporting that the email opt-in is coming to an end and an announcement is imminent.
While we wait for the announcement, check out this video of the iHome iW1.

Where is the iHome iW1?
One of the big AirPlay questions out there at the moment seems to be what has happened to the iHome iW1? And so far we are none the wiser/
The iHome iW1 was the first AirPlay speaker announced after Apple first introduced the technology, and it was widely expected to the the first system to become widely available in the market, but that has not happened.
Having searched the web for information the closest i have come is that a UK release was expected for March/April, around the same time as B&W Zeppelin Air became available. At the moment, in terms of speaker docks with AirPlay, the Zeppelin Air pretty much stands alone in the UK market with more systems coming soon.
As for the iHome iW1 and the other AirPlay systems from iHome, i can only guess on a release date for now. Based on earlier information though it looks like it will come exclusively to Apple and be priced around £300.
