So here's the scenario: You want to listen to radio but you despise your local AM/FM stations, you'd rather stick pin needles in your eyes instead of shelling out a monthly fee to satellite and you don't want to waste valuable laptop battery life just to hear some tunes and you don't feel like turning on your computer. So what do you do? You pick up a Logitech Squeezebox Boom WiFi radio, this table top gadget will allow you to tap into internet-only radio, international internet radio and even many US based AM/FM terrestrial radio stations that simulcast on the net. The Logitech Squeezebox Boom features a sleek design, built-in speakers, high quality audio and access to a full range of free and premium digital audio services. At a reasonable under $300 price tag, there's few reasons not to get one. So next time you're at the beach and in the mood for the latest sounds out of Brazil, just flip on your Squeezebox and enjoy. The Logitech Squeezebox Boom is a fairly compact tabletop unit: 5-inches high by 13-inches wide by 5-inches deep. The front face is angled back a bit, so you can see the screen even if you're standing up in front of it. Otherwise, the design is straightforward and simple: speakers on each side flank a centered control panel and screen. The unit's topside has a wide button that doubles as a snooze bar or sleep toggle (15-90 minutes).
