Inner Bass Radio in your kitchen, out the back garden and in any other room you care to think of..
Yes, it's here at last.. A device that brings FM and Internet Radio Players into one combined unit, now you can listen in to your favourite internet station without dragging your laptop or hifi with you.
Although not brand new technology to most of the world, with the devices being in major use in places like the US, Japan and Asia, there has been few if any circulating around the UK.
These products offer the ability to listen into Inner Bass Radio without a PC...
Now all that's about to change with retailers now jumping on the idea that most if not all the households in the UK have a portable fm radio set, with that in mind now you can add another 20,000 internet radio stations into the mix and with this an opening up a huge source of music for the masses, the retailers realising this are expected to be keep prices high for the forseeable future.
Be aware that prices are not an area to judge in with the lower priced units, some of the devices retailing around the £50 mark are not much better than those cheap FM pocket radios that all the cheap shops stocked at one time.
Here we feature two of the most favoured models from around the globe starting with Logitech's Squeeze Box Boom and Lenco's' IR-2100 B Internet/ WiFi / Lan / FM Radio set's..
LOGITECH SQUEEZEBOX BOOM WIRELESS NETWORK MUSIC PLAYER


The Logitech Squeezebox Boom is an all-in-one network music player with terrific functionality, superb acoustic performance and a compact design.

LENCO IR-2100 B INTERNET/ WIFI / LAN/ FM RADIO
The Lenco IR-2100 B internet / wifi / lan / fm radio unit would sit nice in most living rooms and kitchens without looking to out of place.
We chose this model for it's value, design, sound and style and retailing around the £100 mark is a bargain. most retailers in the UK are charging well over £120 for the unit, but a little search for Lenco WiFi on ebay brings up a retailer selling for around the £85 area with delivery.
The Lenco IR-2100 B is a great value unit for the price.
