Ever since SIRIUS updated the Stiletto with 128kbps WiFi listening, I have no need for a SONOS or a Phoenix. Plus, I can take the Stiletto to the boat, car, garage and to the ball game and listen to Bubba the Love Sponge, Elvis, The Met and the other 77 SIRIUS Internet channels.

Possibly a stupid question, but without a PC, how are you supposed to locate the various internet radio stations and/or import your RSS feeds for podcasts to this device? Wouldn't mind checking one out; sounds interesting. It'd be nice to be able to sit here in Seattle and listen to KUPD from Phoenix (one of the few decent terrestrial stations) without having to tie up the computer if the wife's doing some photo editing or whatever.

This is very cool, but the big question is what happens when these radio stations have to start paying for content like XM and Sirius do? We are either going to get advertising or subscription fees. If that's what it comes to, exactly what is the advantage of Internet radio -- where not only do you have to pay for the content, you have to provide your own bandwidth?

Until someone comes up with a business model for Internet radio that can make money when operating at scale, it is just a toy. That's what's wrong with the entire "WiMax as Competition" argument -- there simply isn't any business model for it.

These are all interesting comments- but the thing about technology is you never know what is going to shake out in the end and become the dominant player. Whether it's Betamax or VHS, BluRay or HD, cable or satellite, and the move from vinyl to 8 track to cassette to CD to digital to wireless, no one knows what or how things are going to wind up. That, and the profound changes coming in copyright and distribution rules make it impossible to predict what or who will win.

But at least it will be interesting.......

Somebody really needs to point out that Internet radio generally sucks. Sometimes it's just regular radio stations, which everybody on here should hate, or really amateurish "stations." I don't care for podcasts either. I'm tired of sifting through tons of garbage for a few ounces of good stuff.

Long live Sirius, great entertainment at your fingertips whenever you want! Now getting them on Wifi is smart, we just need more free WiFi to support it, but that's a a societal concern.

Oh, boy...I'm not so sure about this company. I tried to call to ask some questions about accessibility and price, and noticed all I got was voice mail...I'm guessing they only have one sales guy because when I pressed "1" for sales, I was sent to voice mail for some guy named Michael...Then, I thought "Well, let's drop an email"...I get an error back from my ISP, Comcast, saying that wifi-radio.biz is not an "approved rcpthost"...I've used Comcast for years, and have NEVER seen that particular error when sending an email. So, I don't know if the problem's on Comcast's end or if the domain this other company uses has some problems...So far, the company looks pretty impossible to contact.

The Phoenix radio has 300+ pre-selected stations. When the user registers the radio online, she/he can then add favorites from the 1,000s of stations worldwide.

I tried the email contact and yup, it didn't work. Will try to get this fixed.

Com One is a new presence in the US. The phone number is real. So is Michael.

The future implications of the radio are pretty cool.

I am seriously considering a WiFi radio - the Phoenix in particular.I have been a member of XMRadio from the very beginning and have three XM receivers.I'm getting ready to drop at least my house subscription because of the talk channels to which I listen. They have been taken over by ClearChannel. These idiots have inserted, every ten minutes, mostly PSAs (Public Service Announcements) for which they receive no income. They are the same inane, stupid announcement over and over again and drive me nuts. Contacting XMRadio management has resulting in them saying that since ClearChannel "owns" those stations they have no control over the content.

I've been a customer of XMRadio since the beginning. I'm getting ready to drop these people and move over to WiFi radio - the Phoenix in particular.

XMRadio has decided to let ClearChannel program their talk channels - 152, 158 and 165. I listen(ed) to these Channels the majority of the time. ClearChannel has seen fit to insert the most obnoxious, inane PSA (Public Service Announcements) every ten minutes or so. They derive no income from PSAs so it just doesn't make sense unless they are "kissing up" to the FCC and when I've complained to XM management they've told me that ClearChannel controls the programming. They can do nothing about their content.

Goodbye XM. Hello WiFi!
