I guess we can informally dub this Devices Week here in the Internet Radio
Lovers
discussion group since last week saw the arrival of a slew of new gizmos and
gadgets
(do we still use those terms?) at the Consumer Electronics Show and Macworld
event.
So here are more Internet radio devices making news:

There are probably more, but these are the Internet radio devices that have come
to
my attention. Let me know if you're aware of any others. We're certainly
witnessing
the arrival of a whole lot more of them this year.

I'm noticing a trend with these devices, too. Though there are certainly a
number of
dedicated Internet radio devices, there are also an increasing number of
devices, such
as the wireless DVD player and the gaming console, that are not built
exclusively for
Internet radio. I would still like to see a dedicated wireless (and handheld)
Internet
radio "tuner", but it's encouraging that alot of vendors are including access to
Internet
radio streams in their products.
