  1. Internet radio by po_boy · · Score: 2 · on Your Holiday Present Wish List
    I'm hoping for something from the list of (mostly vapourware) appliances that are pretty much stereos that can take input from streaming audio (like realaudio and its ilk). Some of them have other (primary) functions like playing MP3 CDs or "normal" CDs.

    the list includes:


    I imagine that one big feature that I'd like is that I'd like it to exist in time for the holidays. Other than that, I just want something that takes ethernet in one side, sits in my kitchen, bathroom, study, garage, or wherever, and dumps music out.
    I believe that most of these will fall in the "under $300" category, unless I have to use my iMac for this purpose.

    Hopefully this will turn out not to be vaporware:

    And If I had more disposible income, one of those corny Kerbango devices, now produced by RCA.

  3. Re:Most people don't have DSL by bats · · Score: 2 · on Where are the "Internet" Appliances with Ethernet Cards?

    ADSL and cable modem services are growing at an extremely high rate. We recently had cable modem service rolled out in our area and everyone I know snatched it up. More and more people have a home network to go along with it. Just check Amazon's electronics section -- the number one selling item is a hardware DSL/cable modem router. Its devices like this that make home networks extremely easy to implement.

    There are some internet appliances that support broadband connections.

    Most of these aren't on the market yet, but are due by the end of the year. So it looks a lot like a case of RSN.

  4. What I really want to see... by jimmcq · · Score: 1 · on Dell To Make MP3 Home Stereo Component


    What I really want to see is a Kerbango Internet Radio in a normal black stereo component box. I'd stack of these right in with my receiver and DVD player in the entertainment center.

    The point being that it is completely standalone with an Ethernet port (connecting to a PC is not a requirement).

    From what I can tell, the Dell box has no storage of its own and requires a PC to feed the stream to it. No thanks, as another poster mentioned, a 20 foot patch cable will serve THAT purpose just as well.

  5. More audio "appliances" by gammatron · · Score: 2 · on Turtle Beach Network Audio Appliance
    The Audiotron and these other audio appliances were posted on memepool today: The Lansonic device is almost the same as the audiotron, the other two are more standalone radio-type things.

  6. They are looking for Linux programmers by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1 · on Linux-based Internet Radio Appliance

    Looks like they are looking for a couple programmers in the Silicon Valley area. Check out the Jobs page.

  7. Where do you think they got it? by / · · Score: 3 · on Linux-based Internet Radio Appliance

    You'd have to be asleep at the corporate wheel not to know by now that the latest fad is making every computing device resemble this purple device over here. Look at where the kerbango's knobs correspond to the imac's speakers, and we needn't say more about the silly colors. It'll pass, and on some future day in 20 years, someone will take the shell off a Dell machine (with the trunk in the back this time) and slap a colored one on and consumers will snatch them up in a massive coordinated fit of orgasmic nostalgia. I plan to be very cranky when it happens.

    They're using Hard Hat Linux under the hood.
