The set-up time mentioned here is a huge plus. This sounds awesome. I know what I'm buying with my next paycheck. What is the range for the wireless signal?

I look forward to reading the review for this! Wireless audio is always a fun thing to hear about (especially affordable wireless audio). Being a college student wires are always a hassle. I would love to play some Oren Lavie, especially his song Her Morning Elegance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_HXUhShhmY), across this in my dorm room.

Awesome! This will make a great addition to my camping gear! Hopefully I'll have a chance to boil up a cup to tea on my Thanksgiving hike this year. I'll be doing a 10 mile hike up the La Luz trail to the top of the Sandia Mountains in New Mexico and there is nothing like a nice (quick thanks to the Jet Boil) cup of hot tea at mile three. Thanks for the new stove! I'll be sure to send any stories I have involving my new Jet Boil and zombies.

My favorite (and current) way to boil water is using my little esbit stove with hexamine or trioxane tabs. It's lightweight and fairly efficient. The only real downsides is that you can only boil small amounts of water (in a reasonable amount of time), poor temp control, and the fact that trioxane is toxic (which is why I usually use hexamine). I don't have crazy ways to boil water but I would like to say that my favorite piece of camping equipment is my K-Bar Becker TacTool. In fact I saw the review here went out and bought one and it's served me well. It's a useful tool for salvaging from junk yards, splitting wood, and also self defense (saved me the hassle of being mugged one night).
