CNET.co.uk judgement:
A decent tabletop Internet radio with a neat design, plenty of features and good sound quality. Integration with the Reciva Web site makes using podcasts easy, and sets it aside from most other systems of its type. It's not one to consider if streaming local media is a key feature for you, however
