C|Net Reviews the Roku SoundBridge Radio
Posted by Damion Chaplin in "HARDWARE" @ 08:05 PM
"The Roku SoundBridge Radio is the first hi-fi AM/FM clock radio that's also a full-featured digital audio receiver that's capable of wirelessly streaming music from networked PCs and from the Internet. Offering stereo sound augmented by a built-in minisubwoofer, the SoundBridge Radio is a totally self-contained box that delivers vast access to network music while at the same time functioning as a stand-alone clock radio that won't go down with your Internet connection."
So, basically, for about $20 more than the Bose Wave, you can get this which streams music from your hard drive over from internet radio via your WiFi connection. Kinda cool! As far as clock radios that sit on your desk go, this really looks nice. It has a few shortcomings, namely the lack of an ethernet port or audio input jacks, but otherwise it looks like a solid offering.
