One of my favorite applications for iPhone is Wunder Radio (iTunes / review) . In addition to receiving radio stations both locally and world wide, police scanners, weather radio and more – the iPhone application allows me to listen to Sirius Satellite radio while away from my desktop computer. I’ve been waiting eagerly for Wunder [...]

There are several unconfirmed reports floating around that Apple is working on an FM Radio application for the iPhone and iPod.

MYINE Ira Internet Radio – Review

Let me tell you about Elana’s radio. (Yup, that’s it in the clip.) Elana cooks… a lot! and when she does she listens to the radio. Sometimes she listens to music, but often she chooses talk radio. And she listens to it on an old-style Sony radio. The thing hasn’t changed since I was a [...]

Logitech Introduces Two New Squeezebox WiFi Music Players

I’ve got a Logitech Squeezebox Boom that is an absolute pleasure to use. It’s one of those products that seems interesting but maybe not necessary, until you actually get one and start using it.

Slacker G2 Player Flash Review

Slacker is a web based music service that offers both a free and paid version. The Slacker clients stream music via the web as well as many smartphones. I’ve subscribed for about 6 months because the paid version of Slacker allows me to skip as many songs as I would like while listening to the [...]

Save terrestrial radio!

While streaming internet radio and satellite radio are a geek’s best friends, sometimes for convenience there’s nothing easier than plain AM/FM radio. I started using the radio in my car when I moved farther away from work; with a longer commute I was forced to cycle my playlists more often on my iPod, and the [...]

Slacker for BlackBerry reviewed

Nan Palmero over at BlackBerryCool has a most excellent review of the new Slacker for BlackBerry. He gives kudos to this free software download and based on my use I think he’s right on the money.

Holiday Gift Suggestions: the Etón FR150 Microlink or FR500 Solarlink Radios for the Survivalist

Mike Cane and I have a running rapport about how bad the economy has become, and is still becoming. He is constantly encouraging me to build a bunker at the ranch, and warning me to prepare for the Collapse of All Things, or C.O.A.T. as he calls it. I used to tease him a bit [...]
