I wish this thing were a little cheaper (like $200 vs $350), then I'd be all over it.

I want this very badly. I love Internet Radio and this makes it incredibly simple if you have a wireless home network. Drop the crappy morning banter and vomit-inducing Clear Channel crap-radio for this wicked Internet radio. Wake up to Radio Paradise; the only downside is that you may not want to hit snooze.

It's easy and fast to configure with a secure WLAN. Can't search stations (from 7000+) :S OK for a kitchen radio but I'd pay third of the price. Oh yeah - no tone controls!
