Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] What is the alarm like?
What is the display like for a bedside alarm clock? The original Boom is brilliant with it's display, it goes dim and the simple green writing on a pure black display panel was perfect.

You can get baseball games over the 'net but its expensive. Perhaps its a good deal for a Yankees fan who travels a lot, but not if you want to follow your local team from the Radio next to your easy chair.

While revenue is down like everywhere else, I'd thought audience sizes have been holding steady. As far as I know, the number of people who listen to broadcast radio dwarfs the number who listen over the internet. Maybe I'm wrong about that?

How does this look at night? Any images? The clocks for the Radio are the same as those you can see in the Touch thread "Clock" (you recently posted there, so I assume you've seen them by now). The Radio is supposed to auto-dim, but at present that doesn't seem to be working quite right.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Where is the broadcast FM?
In the future we will hopefully don't suffer these low bit-rates streams, thats about the only thing thats makes we want FM at home, AM is dead in sweden nobody uses it.
