Dane,
On the Serotalk web site, in the Final Interviews from CSUN, there is an
interview about the Solutions Radio, a stand-alone Internet radio that they
say will be coming in July. I haven't gotten around to listening to the
interview yet, but it might be something to check out.

Hello:
If you have a SqueezeBox Boom internet radio, and an iPhone or iTouch, you
can have complete control of your radio. The radio can also be controlled
via the PC.
Hope this helps.

Hi Dane,
I have the jjSanyo r227 internet radio which I really like and think it's
great. As you say though, it does take a pair of eyes to do any scanning
or searching unfortunately. It has only eight presets, but I have eight
of my favorite station set in them. It's somewhat limited, but if you
pick eight of your favorite ones then it's not so bad. If you get tired
of any of the stations you can have a sighted person help you to scan to
find some others. I've had it for about a year now and have never
regretted buying it.
there are a lot of interesting stations out there just for the looking.
If you have any questions please email me.

Hi!
Does anyone manage to use a standard Internet type radio device? by that
I mean a device which you just purchase from your local Walmart or local
electronics Retailer?
Obviously the user would have trouble setting the thing up due to the
lack of speech or other accessibility but just supposing you had someone
set the radio up to match your wi-fi network and they programmed some
presets for you, I can't see any reason why you couldn't scroll through
those presets up and down as you would with some digitally controlled FM
radios which have been readily available for the last quarter of a
century, anyone got any views or had any experience with this.
I'm looking at buying a "stand-alone" Internet radio for the kitchen
though if I can't get one that won't work at all for a person with no
vision then I won't be too worried, Ootunes on the Iphone and Ipad does a
damn good job but I don't want to be carrying them around with me
everywhere if I can avoid it.
I did think about the new Plextalk Pocket which is supposed to have
Internet Radio accessible on it however I think it will be quite some
time before we see anything out of that company, unfortunately the whole
company's location was destroyed in the recent Japan earthquake.
