Conclusion
Simply put, this is the finest networked audio streamer we've ever seen. It does for music what the Popcorn Hour A-110
does for video. It's easy to use, beautifully designed, and packed with
features to an almost ludicrous extent. It might well be our favourite
digital audio product of 2008.
If you want all this functionality without speakers, so it can be hooked up to your home hi-fi system, check out the equally spectacular Logitech Squeezebox Duet. It's the same SqueezeCenter software and is essentially just the Boom hardware, minus the speakers and size.

Good: Listening to Internet radio stations
Bad: no dislikes
Comment: Bought this a year ago to specifically listen to New Zealand radio stations(from the UK) and it does this brilliantly - in any room of my house. Also enables me to listen to American Blue Grass stations, Turkish music stations etc - whatever turns me on. Another useful feature which I don't actually use very often is to stream my music collection from my computer.
Of course the unit does not have built in FM or DAB radio but then whats the point as UK FM is scheduled to be switched off sometime in the future in favour of DAB but with Internet radio even DAB will be a waste of time. Currently I have got rid of all my "proper radios" except for a miniature mp3 player with built in recordable FM radio. This is used on foreign holidays.
Can't see myself ever bying another conventional radio.
