Tags: Internet Radio, The Competition
Enter the MusicPal by Freecom. It's a wireless internet radio that doesn't require a computer to tune into individual stations. It's also an MP3 player. And an RSS reader. Oh, and an alarm clock.
Using a WiFi connection, the MusicPal will stream internet radio - with support to over 5.000 radio stations - plus it will stream any MP3 music from your computer or home network. The RSS reader will display your feeds right on the unit - hardly useful if you want to be knee deep into your Orbitcast feed. But think more along the lines of RSS feeds of stocks, sports scores, local weather, etc.
And it's available for $149.

If it could stream XM online. It would be a hit seller for those who cannot get a satellite signal.

Jeff, the SqueezeBox, which is basically another brand of the same thing, is smaller, about 6 inches wide. Check that out for comparison.

Who would spend the money on one of these things when Internet radio is on its deathbed? All RIAA has to do is say, "Hey, we decided you have to pay" and it is over.
