iPod to multizone music server

Anyone have an recommendations/experience with any of the newer products that use an iPod (not iTunes) as a media source/server?
There's a couple boxes out there that you plug a single iPod into and the box then becomes a multi-zone audio media server. (one boasts 6 zones)

I would guess that the devices you are looking at are doing the same thing. They probably read a song from the ipod into native memory and then stream the music.

Yeah, I also think it pulls the metadata from teh iPod as well and then serves that out. The one we saw tookk a few minutes to 'sync' with the iPod. I'm sure it was pulling all the metadata and audio files.
