But please note that you WILL need to have iTunes installed on your Dell PC to fully utilise the AirPlay functionality.... However you can still use the device without AirPlay by docking an iPod/iPhone (not sure about an iPad) directly onto the Zeppelin.

Yes it can, make sure you have at least iTunes 10.1.

A drive unit refers to the individual speaker cones, of which there are 5 total in the Zep Air.
The Zep Air is a stand alone unit of ~6 kg that is not designed to be portable though it can be move fairly readily. The ideal situation, if practical (and affordable!) would be to have a unit in each of the rooms you want to have music in. All will connect to your wireless network so you can stream sound to them.

There is no way to connect this wirelessly to a TV. However, you certainly could connect them via the stereo aux mini-plug (1/8-inch headphone-style jack), or via optical mini-TOSLINK (same port).

I would think that if you're planning to use it with your TV, then you'd want it placed in front of, and thus close to, your TV. So it would certainly be close enough to connect to the aforementioned jack.

Yes, if your iPod/iPhone/iPad is plugged into the dock Zeppelin Air will charge the device.

After further testing, I concluded that the feature I am looking for is only available on the MM-1s. For example: the MM-1s plugged via USB to a Mac; the P5s plugged into the headphone jack on the MM-1s, to utilize the built-in DAC for crystal clear sounds.

Yes, with a male to male 3.5mm audio cable from your iPad to the Zeppelin, or with airplay, but there will be a delay if you choose the latter option.

It's not that heavy! I would have no issue, except if you bumped the iPad, it will fall off in a second. But the arm is strong enough for the weight, it is just not a solid perch.

there is'nt an actual adaptor for the zeppelin. but I also have an original one and by using an apple airport express, available on this site and an optical lead as both the express and the mk1 zeppelin have combined optical and digital jacks I have streamed music via remote app for itouch and now airplay directly from the itouch to the zeppelin for a couple of years now using the zepps onboard DAC

despite the reported improvements in the sound quality with mk11 over mk1 zep as i already had the airport express i couldn't see the big deal with the integrated Airplay
