That's a surprise given the - 760mm woofer? Impressive in such a small box. A typo, no?

Only why they would not include an actual FM RADIO is beyond me. Why on earth do I have to go to a lo-fi internet stream if I could just as well tune in to fm?

I like the idea of a battery pack. It means I could actually take this outside without running an extension cord across the lawn. Wonderful for cookouts and relaxing in the sun.

"Japanese button-fest"

-I can't stop laughing.

For something so obviously at home on a bedside table, the lack of a large "Snooze" button on top - as present on the much larger and bedside UNfriendly Squeezebox Boom - is simply unforgivable.

Apparently the knob now fulfils the function of the "Snooze" button but who wants to delicately prod a volume knob when we all know its far more satisfying to slap a large Snooze button.

I'd have snapped one of these up as a bedside alarm clock if only it were more suited to the bedroom role - I like slapping the snooze button!
