PICO Wi-Fi links to any broadband Wi-Fi connection to stream internet radio broadcasts. It also accesses “Listen Again” services such as those operated by the BBC. PICO Wi-Fi is capable of accessing thousands of internet radio stations from all over the world, whether listening to samba from Brazil’s Radio Caraibas, New Orleans Jazz from WWOZ or even live baseball from New York on WFAN 660. Additionally, PICO Wi-Fi allows you to play music files stored on any Wi-Fi enabled PC or Apple Mac in your home and listen to them through high quality portable loudspeaker system. For me, nothing beats the communal experience shared with other listeners around the globe. It’s available for preorder now, priced at £169.95 ($318). [Revo]
