I'm trying to figure out why you'd want to have a Slimp3 INSTEAD of an empeg and dock... Streaming from the empeg seems redundant to me as well...

I guess with the empeg method, you have to carry it from your car to your dock, which some people might not want to do... For me, I carry it into the house no matter what, since I live in a place with a shared garage...
