I’ve always been kind of interested in the Sony Dash Personal Internet Viewer. The $200 Dash uses Chumby’s technology to deliver a host of web content. Through a variety of different apps (there are up to 1500 different free apps available) the device serves up a seemingly endless variety of Internet radio, social media, video [...]

Review: Aluratek Bump AMS01F MP3/FM Radio Boombox
Aluratek has brought out a cool little boom box that might just come in handy on your next camping trip. Aluratek sent me one so I could play with it and see what makes it tick. Initially when I opened the box, I was expecting their AWS01F which includes a wireless speaker as well. However [...]
Home Gear Review: Aluratek Internet Radio Alarm Clock with Built-in WiFi (v2)
I’ve had a chance to check out more than a few Internet radios in the past year or so and I am impressed with the growing feature-set and fidelity we are beginning to see. I have been checking out Aluratek’s current offering and can safely say that while it doesn’t stand out from an increasingly [...]
Roku Rolls Our Hulu Plus… Offers Deal
Roku was in Manhattan at Pepcom last night showing off their new players and talking Hulu. And… wouldn’t you know it… true to their word Roku sent out an email this morning announcing that Hulu Plus is now available on Roku. Better still, they are offering a free month of Hulu Plus with the purchase of [...]
Internet Radio Review- Allegro Wi-Fi Radio Portable Wireless Radio & Streamer
I HATE Elana’s transistor radio. It has the most annoying crackle when AM radio is on and even FM radio sounds terrible. I’ve tried to throw it out and replace it with a WiFi radio or an iPod touch numerous times. But like a bad penny it keeps coming back. Yup, none of the solutions [...]

Slacker Radio and ABC News Hook Up To Provide Personal Radio Service
I love Slacker Radio. I love the way it reintroduced me to the music I loved as a kid. I love the fact that it now caches radio stations for Slacker Plus subscribers. And I love the fact that it now runs in the background on iDevices running iOS 4.0. And just last night searching [...]
Review: iLuv iMM178 Vibe Plus- Dual Alarm Clock w/Bed Speaker Shaker for iPhone
iPhone/iPod speaker docks are multiplying around my home and at the office. And for good reason. Since I’m not an audiophile the music that is pumped out of a relatively inexpensive speaker dock is usually just fine for me. But while a simple speaker dock is fine for my office (I use a bluetooth system [...]

Slacker Radio 2.0 For OS iPhone Adds Station Caching and More….
After trying a variety of different Internet radio offerings, I settled on Slacker Radio and paid for a Slacker Plus subscription. I even spent an evening creating a custom Slacker Radio station that let me revisit the ’80 music of my teen years. I’m a huge fan of Slacker, and with the release of the [...]
The Logitech Squeezebox Radio Review
Judie: Last year Julie Strietelmeier and I took a look at the Logitech Squeezebox Boom, both here and on The Gadgeteer, and our general consensus was that we both enjoyed using it. As a matter of fact, I liked using mine so much that I eventually sprung for a streaming Sirius subscription as well as [...]
Rhapsody Just Got Me Back As a Customer… Rhapsody For iPhone Review
I used to have a subscription to Rhapsody. At the time I was using a Creative Zen music player. (It was in the days when my motto was “Anything But Apple’s Products”. It seems like a lifetime ago.) The deal the company offered wasn’t bad. For $10 or $15 a month I could listen to [...]

It is starting to be that time of year. What do I mean? Thunderstorm and Tornado Season that’s what I mean. That is followed by the Hurricane season. The best thing to do to stay safe during this season is to take time to prepare now before the worst happens. One device that will help [...]
