...which has changed the way I listen to music.

I can now listen to normal radio, digital radio stations, international stations, internet stations as well as podcasts and last fm stations. I also have a subscription to Napster which means I can listen to pretty much any album, any time I please through the radio. The only downside is that the SB Radio runs through something called MySqueezebox, which sometimes goes down, leaving you in silence. I could avoid this by setting up a hard drive which would allow me to listen to my music collection any time I want, but haven't got round to it yet.

All in all, I'd recommend it.

I absolutely love mine. I have a Pure.

I listen to right-wing American radio which always gets my blood up. I listen to KFM in Cape Town to remind me of home. I listen to New Country from California to get me singing in the morning.

What's not to like?

I bought one of these in Germany for €75 (it's called the IPdio over here; I saw one in Dixons once under a different name). I love it; who'd have thought ten years ago that I could be sitting in Munich listening to Radio 4? Sound is surprisingly good when I play it through my stereo. And you can play podcasts (the ones posted by broadcasters) through it as well.

Some things to bear in mind from personal experience:

* You need a good wi-fi signal or it keeps cutting out
* From a cold start, it does take a minute or so to configure itself and find the wifi signal. And probably 10 seconds to change a channel. So slower than a DAB radio
* I think the innards of these things are pretty much the same, so you'll need to base your choice on things like size, usability and how good the speakers are (if you're using it as a standalone unit). One very important thing to look out for is how many preset channels you can save; because of the restricted user interface on these things, finding and changing channels is a bit of a palaver
* Check before buying that it can pick up BBC stations (the first one I bought wouldn't). It was something to do with supported audio formats

I got a cheap and cheerful Phillips one off eBay for £10 3 years ago. I stopped using it because it kept losing connection to my wireless router. I then realised it was the cheap and nasty BT router that was the problem so now that I've got a better one, t'internet radio is actually pretty good. I can listen to my own music through it too. Very handy in the kitchen or when I can't get on the comp at home. It doesn't have built in speakers to I've got my eye on a combined DAB/internet radio as my Pure DAB radio is on its last legs. The only problem is that I'm constantly fiddling with it to find even more obscure stations. A prog rock show from Azerbaijan is a current favourite.

Spoke to a mate at work and he says he is permanently tuned into some station in Florida as it reminds him of his holibags, great stuff.

Not sure of your budget but I have just invested in a Sonos system and the internet radio on that is fantastic. The choice and quality of music (and indeed, talk) out there is amazing. I did have a small stand alone quattro but either it, or my wireless network, was not really up to the job and it would sometimes cut out and need re-booting. No such problems with the Sonos though, which has its own network - a great piece of kit.

a speaker dock and the Tune In radio app (£1.19) works really well. So if you have the iPod and some speakers already, its a bargain.

… does anyone know where I'll be able to get internet commentary on the Ashes tests?

It's a kind of bedside clock / internet radio / picture frame gizmo, but it's also got a 7" touchscreen. It's open-source, so people have made all manner of internet applications for it, including Twitter and Facebook clients.

Looks quite fun. Although an iPod Touch and speakers are probably a more sensible buy.

Probably 200 of your earth pounds, quite fancy the roberts istream as hab=ve always been a sucker for retro type doo dahs

I bought a Pure Evoke Flow about six months ago for the kitchen and loved it so much I've had to buy an internet radio for the bedroom too. This time I bought a Roberts stream83i. Both are brilliant, but I think prefer the Roberts as it has a better sound. I think it cost about £125.00 on Amazon. The variety of stations is massive. Last night I was listening to phone-in station in Connecticut and the discussion was about underwater UFOs. Both the presenter and the caller (driving his truck full of "dressed and chilled" chicken across Alabama) were convinced they existed. This afternoon I listened to a station that played nothing but HJH music and another that played only Motown. Tonight I'll probably fall asleep to RTL in France (there's a pretty cool music show on late evening).
Might have to go out and buy one for the bathroom tomorrow.

I have a Mondo Revo. It hardly ever works - very sensitive to position, so probably a wifi signal strength issue. I never have any trouble with the other wifi devices in the house (3 laptops, iphone & blackberry), so I conclude the receiver is poor.
