[Electronics-Talk] New Radio for DiningRoomWith InternetConnectivity [Curious Myself]

[Peter Donahue]

Good morning Jim and everyone,

	If the budget permitted we would add an iPad Pro with built-in
speakers to our technology collection but another full-blown tablet is
unnecessary. We wanted to see what was now available for Internet radios. If
Sprint offers a sweet deal where we could add another iPad with speakers to
serve as a dining room radio and a whole lot more perhaps we'll go for it.

I'm curious why a radio is necessarily desired here?  Smart phones can be
used to get internet radio stations, and they can also get services such as
Spotify if you just want music.  Also, the latest Victor Reader stream gets
internet radio if I remember correctly.

I'm going to see if the company still makes them, or still exists.
Smartphones and tablets and the such probably led to their demise.  Thanks
for the info.
